First of all, let me define what a ‘Plan A’ person is. A friend of mine, who is a perfect example of a ‘Plan A’ person, put it like this: “A ‘Plan A’ person is someone who’s plan B is that plan A works”. No ‘if’s’, no ‘buts’, and definitely no plan B.

If you want to become a ‘Plan A’ person, then important lesson number 1 is to establish your plan A. You need to spend some time making sure that it is a good one too, as remember that will be no plan B as a back-up for it.

Important lesson number 2 is to never give up on your plan A. Sometimes life throws up barriers, and when you come face to face with obstacles you need to be resolute.

Having just one plan is really to your benefit here as, when you have more than one choice, you waste time weighing up the pros and cons of each instead of just going forwards. When that happens, you take your eyes off the prize, make the wrong choice, and your original intentions become diluted.

So, now you know what being a ‘Plan A’ person involves. The question now is how to change to be a ‘Plan A’ person. How do you step up to the mark if you’re currently a Plan B, C or even Z person?

Well, success breeds success and, similarly, ‘Plan A’ people breed ‘Plan A’ people. There are only 26 letters in the alphabet, so I don’t even think there is even a proper term that describes me before I made the conscious decision to become a ‘Plan A’ person i.e I was a ‘Plan Z+’ person.

However, by making making friends, and doing business, with ‘Plan A’ people, I soon became one too. It really is as straightforward as emulating the successful people that you admire.

If I can do it, then so can you. You’ve already taken the first step in the right direction, you now just need to not look back again. Do that, and success will soon be yours!
