I’m in talks with a company about helping me do some pretty big things with Church Stage Design Ideas and Sunday| Magazine. We’re negotiating…going back and forth. We’re preparing a contract.
One of the funniest things I’ve noticed about this process is that I’m basically planning my own demise. I’m anticipating every possible way I could get screwed in this deal. What if this happens? What if that happens?
I trust the company I’m dealing with. I have a great feeling about this situation. But wisdom requires I prepare for the worst.
I’m planning for it, but I’m not scared of the worst. None of these doomsday scenarios will keep me from acting on this collision of opportunity and vision.
There’s wisdom in preparing for the worst. But there’s foolishness in shriveling up in the corner because those scenarios scare you.
Great endeavors require cautious juggernaut-ism. Prepare for the worst but plunge on ahead. Without both of those elements you either do nothing or fail big time.
Which element have you been neglecting? Have you been plunging ahead without any forethought? Or have you been hiding in the shadows for fear of failure – fear of your own demise. I encourage you…go for your dreams… cautiously…but go for them.
