The Impossible Plan
A super simple planning technique to overcome your challenges and fulfill your dreams that’s easy to learn and impossible to master.
You have a dream. Or maybe a challenge.
It seems impossible.
So you might as well give up, right?
Well…
Maybe.
Instead, try the Impossible Plan.
Ask yourself this:
What would make it possible?
And really, genuinely answer that question. In depth.
Is the answer also impossible?
Ask the question again. Answer it. And keep doing that — asking and answering — until you get to something that is possible.
Then do it.
Don’t want to do it? Then that’s a dream to let go of. If you don’t want to take that first possible step? That dream isn’t really yours, it’s just a fantasy. A distraction from doing the real work. Let it go and make a new Impossible Plan. Keep doing it until you find one you want to follow with all your heart.
Dream big.
Make the Impossible Plan.
Then follow it.
