Do You Follow a Plan? Win a Prize.
This weekend’s “Answer a Question – Win a Prize” is about following a plan
First the rules:
Leave as many comments as you like. If you don’t have a clear answer to the question, but what to just discuss the question or related thoughts, anything goes and anything on topic will be considered as a possible winner.
I’m the judge and jury.
I may award more than one DVD prize if I feel there is more than one deserving response.
I will ship the DVD anywhere in the world, at my expense.
Contest is open until Midnight Mountain time (UTC -7) on Sunday August 5th, 2007. On Tuesday AM, I’ll post the winner. However, if you read this and it’s after that date, post your comment anyways, I may still send you a DVD.
his week’s question is simple…
Do You Follow a Plan?
Specifically I’m interested in your efforts to make money online, but take the topic in any direction you like.
Here’s some related questions to get your comment juices flowing.
If you do have a plan…
Where did you find your plan?
What makes you think it will work?
Is it written down?
Do you have a deadline to implement it?
How did you come up with the plan?
Do you stick to it? If no, why not?
If you don’t have a plan…
Why not?
The best answers get the $100 DVD, which shows you how to earn a living by creating and selling your own DVDs. (See the DVD sales page on Kunaki.)
Have a great weekend,
Jon

Michael @ Freshome added these pithy words on Aug 03 07 at 10:38 pmPlanning is a secret tool that I’ve discovered a few weeks ago. Until now I’ve made unconscious plans, and I keept moving forward.
Now I’m conscious that I must have a plan in everything in my life, because if you have a goal and little steps to achieve your goal is the right way to success.
I just wanted to comment, because I hope I’ll learn more about planning from this post.

Actually my plan has come solely from me. I thought it up, mind-mapped it, wrote it down, and am now finishing it up.
I actually have more than one plan going currently at this time but I have one plan that is almost finished.
The one plan that I am really trying to finish is a product made to help network marketers build their downline.
It is actually the first “product” type thing that I have worked (I have been an affiliate up to this point, not a publisher- which has been quite a learning experience to say the least).
The reasona I think it will work is
1.) it offers a viable solution to network marketers out for building a downline and it most likely is a solution that they have yet to explore.
2.) There are currently over 4 million network marketers in the US alone. With a failure rate of 95%, you have to imagine that they would be looking for any solution to help them.
Is it written down?
Oh, you betcha. It has been a work in progress for almost a month now. Building the actual product was the easy part. Setting up the infrastructure around the product…well, that is another story.
Do you have a deadline to implement it?
Kind of…it is actually set to go out on the 14th of August but might be done before then. The infrastucture is what is taking the longest…
How did you come up with the plan?
Like I said before, it has been a work in progress for a month. Although I rarely jump into network marketing opps, I have experienced good things when I did. I felt that if I could make money doing this kind of stuff, anyone could but most networkers don’t do what I do. This opened up a potential to actually teach how I do it. Plus, they could take the lessons to a more lucrative field online as well if they ever went looking for opportunities outside the network marketing field.
Do you stick to it?
Everyday. 8+ hours a day. When I first started it, it was really rolling. Now, I am having to deal with the other things associated with implementing an idea: new domains, a website, pay processors, sales letters and copywriting, ect. Now I am realizing that the actual conception of the product is not as much work as getting the other stuff around it in place before it launches.
K added these pithy words on Aug 05 07 at 7:00 amOne thing that’s been drummed into me as someone in new business development is that a plan is a must. Without a plan complete with benchmarks, you don’t know whether a project is a success or a failure.
I usually leverage of existing products and projects (including other people’s) for plan baselines. Every product is similar to some other product out there (or its a combo of different products in different industries).
Why do I think it’ll work? Nothing is guaranteed but I have a better shot at it because as Newton says, I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. I’m leveraging off existing success stories.
Is it written down? Due to my bad memory, everything is written down.
Do I stick with it? Yes, unless some significant factor changes. No sense having a plan if I don’t act on it.
