Success tip of the day... Do you really need a back-up plan?

Had quite a big surprise the other day when I learned from Jeff Haden, a writer who knows and works with a number of remarkably successful people, that one habit of people who are highly successful is that they don’t have back-up plans. “Back-up plans,” according to him, “create an easy way out when times get rough.” 

The explanation why you shouldn’t have a back-up plan, Jeff says, is that “You'll work a lot harder and a lot longer if your primary plan simply has to work because there is no other option. Total commitment--without a safety net--will spur you to work harder than you ever imagined possible. If somehow the worst does happen (and the "worst" is never as bad as you think) trust that you will find a way to rebound. As long as you keep working hard and keep learning from your mistakes, you always will.” Read more of Jeff Haden’s 8 habits of successful people HERE.
