Organized Planning | Note 402

A winner cannot succeed without organized planning.

 
A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. But, a winner can not succeed without organized planning.
 
I never quit on anything, but I learned I would not win until I made organized plans. Often, I was defeated before I started because I didn’t take the time to come up with definite plans to achieve my goals. Sure, I had a burning desire, and I believed I could do whatever I put my mind to, but I lacked organized plans. And even when I had a half-ass plan, I was slow at making decisions or taking action.
 
If you want to win, you must first have a firm desire and then take practical steps that lead you to riches. One of those steps is forming a DEFINITE, practical plan, or plans.
 
You are not defeated until you quit in your mind, and your achievement, no matter how small or big, can be no greater than your PLANS are sound.
 
Napoleon Hill wrote in his book Think and Grow Rich, “You have learned that everything man creates or acquires, begins in the form of DESIRE, that desire is taken on the first lap of its journey, from the abstract to the concrete, into the workshop of the IMAGINATION, where PLANS for its transition are created and organized.”
 
Napoleon Hill’s sixth step toward riches is organized planning — the crystallization of desire into action.
