Welcome to #TheDailyYes. The idea is simple- we are sharing some of the quotes, phrases, and pearls of wisdom that have helped us throughout the years.
A few simple words can completely change the way a person thinks about things. A person’s success, self-worth, and impact on the world can be completely attributed to the way he or she thinks about things.
Jason Mudd, Executive Officer
An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without a plan
Warren Buffet
Happy Monday, friends!
Oh, uncle Warren, you are so wise. So simplistically surreal that I can hear all the brilliant folks saying ‘
Because an idiot with a plan can beat a genius without one.
“But JASON- you said that competing with people is BAD!”
On that note, I don’t believe that Warren was speaking
When I make a plan with my team or consulting clients, I make sure that the markers are what we want and not driven by outside influences, especially people or other brands. I always thought that people grew out of the competitive, high-school mentality, but some people get stuck in ‘tit for tat-mode’ for the better part of their lives. The rest of us just have tendencies that can be worked out with intention.
Like all good things it takes intention to create a solid plan free from unwanted influence. Outside influence is good! Just make sure that your plan is yours from the get and you will always have a keystone to reference when you’re in question.
Fail to plan, you plan to fail. Think of it as an investment. Now go to work.
