Ideas Are NOT Plans

If you are like me, you have a lot of ideas.  Maybe you have them written down and have what you call, "a plan" in place.  OK, talking about me and my $10,000 challenge. I have the ideas.   I have the plans written down.  I have a few targets to aim for.  I AM READY? Or am I? Ideas are not plans. What I have written are ideas, not specific plans

I know the main target, $10,000.  I have written and committed to it. I have the vehicle, internet marketing. It includes Bum Marketing, writing articles (also part of BM), adding webpages to my sites, selecting some products in my PLR files to sell.  Create a "fire sale".  I have all of this written down and READY TO GO.

UH OH!  READY TO GO!  Ready to go and actively creating wealth are two different things. 

The problem is I do not have a written commitment to myself.  I do not have a commitment to do a certain amount by Friday.  Well, I do have a commitment. I need to earn $2400 on Ebay in the next 8 days to pay the rent.

This hustle to pay the bills thing gets in the way of my $10,000 challenge, but that is only an excuse.  I could take some time that I schedule during the day to do some small tasks. 

Bottom line so far is that I have a plan in my head and partially written down, but I have not put the EXACT plan for this week down on paper.  I do not know what I have to do this week.  I know I have to sell on Ebay to meet the bills, but I do not know what I have to do for my challenge to meet its needs.

I see this regularly in forums. People without direction looking for an answer.  The answer is to JUST DO IT.  A plan helps, but I think people (me/I) spend too much time making plans that are NOT really plans, but are simply ideas. 

OK, I can see that this blog is going to be as much about getting a project off of the ground as it is about actually making money.  Maybe the most important part of this challenge is learning to focus and work a plan, not just plan.
