The path to greatness for any organization begins with a Vision. Leaders with Vision must also have the Passion it takes to pursue that Vision. However, too often I see leaders who have both Vision and Passion, but who are falling short in achieving their Vision. The cause more often than not can be easily traced to Planning… poor planning or the lack of a plan at all. Good things will sporadically happen for these organizations as a result of pure Vision and Passion. As a result, would-be leaders are fooled into thinking they are succeeding. But results over time will be disappointing, Passion will wane, and true progress toward the Vision will be impossible to achieve or measure without a Plan.

Talk about NAILING IT! No Plan – No success. The two are so closely tied together – no no no – they are they same. You need to have a plan – backed by your great emotional desire to accomplish it and the work ethic to be on that plan every day.
No Plan – No Success!
