Of the many secrets to success, being a ‘Plan A’ person is perhaps one of the most fundamental of all. So, what exactly is a ‘Plan A’ person, and how can you tell if you are being one in every area of your life?

First of all, lets consider what a ‘Plan A’ person is. A friend of mine, who is a perfect example of a ‘Plan A’ person, put it like this: “A ‘Plan A’ person is a person who’s plan B is that plan A works”. No ‘if’s', no ‘buts’, and definitely no plan B. Plan A works. Full stop.

If you want to become a ‘Plan A’ person, then important lesson number 1 is to establish your plan A. You need to make sure that it is a good one too, as remember that will be no plan B as a back-up for it.

Important lesson number 2 is to always, always stick to plan A. Every now and then life gets a little rocky, and when you come face to face with the obstacles that will inevitably arise you need to be resolute.

Having just one plan is really to your benefit here as, when you have more than one choice, you stop to consider your choices and ponder on the best route to take going forwards. When that happens, you lose focus, and your original intentions become diluted at best, but more probably lost forever.

Important lesson number 3 is to never change your plan A. Remember, that if you change your plan A, then it becomes plan B, and those are no longer allowed!

So, now you know what a ‘Plan A’ is. The question now is how to change to be a ‘Plan A’ person. How can you step up from being a Plan B, C or even Z person?

As they say, success breeds success and, likewise, ‘Plan A’ people breed ‘Plan A’ people. The alphabet only goes up to Z, so there isn’t even a proper term that describes me before I made the decision to become a ‘Plan A’ person.

However, by making friends with, doing business with, reading the same books as, and following the same strategies as ‘Plan A’ people, it didn’t take me long to become one too. It really is as straightforward as emulating the successful people (who are invariably ‘Plan A’ people that you want to be like.

If I can do it, then so can you. You’ve already taken the first step in the right direction, you now just need to keep going in that direction. Do that, and the success that you’ve always dreamed of will soon be yours!
