Preparation

Much of success is due to preparation. When you’re well prepared, you put yourself at an advantage.

Preparation is inconvenient, time consuming, costly and tedious. Nonetheless, it pays great dividends when the time comes to depend on your preparation.

There are lots of good ways to be prepared. You can prepare for specific situations you know are coming, and you can prepare in general by developing new strength and competence.

Ask yourself, what are you likely to regret not preparing for? Now is the time to make those preparations and avoid that regret.

Life is certain to challenge you in ways you can anticipate and in ways you can’t. What you can do is improve your ability to meet those challenges with preparation.

Preparation enables you to make the most of your time, skills, and resources when it truly matters. Get prepared, stay prepared, and be more effective in dealing with whatever comes your way.
