[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget #1: Write and Succeed

Have you ever heard the story about the guy who was trying to build a skyscraper, but he didn’t have any plans or blueprints? I can tell you right now that you have never heard that story.

Why?

Because is it doesn’t exist!

Nobody would try to build a building like that without planning it out in writing…first. Even if someone could build it without using blueprints, it would still be much simpler if things were planned out on paper. It works the same way for you and building your life.

You tend to accomplish a lot more when you put your goals, ideas, plans, and the necessary action steps in writing. Write and succeed.

Whether digitally or by hand, write down you goals, ideas, and plans.

Million-Dollar Question: 
How soon are you going to put your goals, ideas, plans,
and the necessary action steps in writing?
