When I read the title, I had to read the post. Eric does a great job of “tying it all together.”
There’s a fine line between planning too much (without actualling doing) and not planning enough. Ideally you want to stay as close to the line as possible so that you can manage your business effectively. Well, unfortunately a couple of car theives didn’t learn that skill when they started their theft business.
Last week there was a police chase in Forsyth County, Georgia. How poorly can you plan for a police chase?
Strike one: It’s REALLLY cold. Wear a t-shirt and jeans.
Strike two: Drive a stolen car through a county known for aggressive patrol.
Strike three: Ditch the car and run on foot. Your buddy gets caught. You’re out in 32 degree weather in a t-shirt, walking around in the middle of the night about to freeze to death. And THEN get caught because you’re walking down the side of a dark road in a bright white t-shirt.
Lesson: Trying to run your business without a plan is like trying to run from the cops. It’s going to catch up to you. But at least this way you won’t be going to jail. You’ll just be broke.
