PLAN AHEAD

I would like to share what my pastor touched on last Sunday in City Harvest KL.

The Law of Navigation from John Maxwell (From the book 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, which I read many years ago)

To sum it use, we refer to the acrostic PLAN AHEAD.

PREDETERMINE a course of action.
LAY OUT your goals.
ADJUST your priorities.
NOTIFY key personnel.

ALLOW time for acceptance.
HEAD into action.
EXPECT problems.
ALWAYS point to the successes.
DAILY review your plan.

To remember, guys can just do this train of thought. (no no my pastor didn’t go through all this although he did touch on it =))

PREDETERMINE the girl you want to ask out for a date.
LAY OUT your plan for the date. (movie? candlelight dinner? buy her a bouquet of flowers? do you have enough cash?)
ADJUST your schedule and make sure that it fits hers, not yours! What do you expect out of the date? Prioritize.
NOTIFY her (duh!), your parents (if they are cool about it), and perhaps the restaurant.

ALLOW some time for her to get to know you and accept the invitation. DON’T RUSH IT. Haste makes waste.
HEAD to the appointed venue, or pick her up from her home if you can drive.
EXPECT problems! Yes, she may not be able to accept you so quickly. She might reject you outright. She might not like you anyway, etc
ALWAYS point to how beautiful she is on the inside and outside. How you enjoy spending time with her, etc.
DAILY think about her. And pray about it.

Haha.
