Start-Up Activity
Ask your students to raise their hands to vote for who would be more likely to achieve success:
-
A general with a well-equipped army, a goal, a budget, and a plan, OR a person with a random assortment of other people and no idea what to do with them.
-
A coach with a football team, equipment, a field, and a training schedule, OR a person with some other people and some blank paper.
-
A band with instruments, music, a set list, and a touring schedule, OR an assortment of people who like music.
Obviously, those who have a goal, equipment, and a plan will almost always win over those who have none of these things. This chapter is about planning, yes, but it is also about succeeding. Help students realize that this chapter empowers them to do great things.
Think About It
“Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.”
