You have always heard that of you are failing to plan, you are obviously planning to fail. Now is it true that someone will actually settle down in planing to fail?. This might not be true though but there is a possibility that you don't meet your target if you don't plan properly.
Several individuals are walking the face of this earth working tirelessly to meet end means but however somehow they are meeting up to both their expectations and people expectations.Thia can however be frustrating but there is always a solution to every problem.
Using my experience as an example, I am someone who never gives up. Once I start a something, I will vigorously make sure I get to the bottom of it. Likewise, I am one who plans. I spend most of my time planning so that I will not be disappointed at the end.
When I began blogging, My first domain name was apteruditions.com and I was struggling to be in the 6th page of google at times. I blogged at that domain name for over 6months and never got any organic traffic. This was frustrating because I never planned that blog. I was severely having I was writing articles as it came to my head and was blogging almost about anything that existed.
I finally got an issue with the site's Adsense and couldn't display Ads again. I nearly gave up but that's what I can't even ever imagine to do. I built another blog 
I ACHIEVED THIS IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS
How did I achieve this?. Even before I started this my new blog, I sat for one whole month to plan what I want to blog about and how my blog menu will actually look like. I carefully wrote out all the topics I will be discussing in order of how important they will help students as it was an educational blog. This I still do till today.
With my current ranking, It won't be long before
it gets better. However all I am saying today is that proper planning helps make you successful. If you want your hardwork to convert today, you've got to plan thoroughly. Your success is directly proportional to how much you plan. Every single person who has made it today had always had a plan to be successful.
Bringing that on to steemit, if you want to be successful in the long term, then of course you need to invest in steem. Most of the Wales you see today had always had a long term plan to establish themselves. In fact a famous Knight on this platform @Sirknight had to invest his personal cash on steem and today he helping the community.
Finally, it is good to note that you will have good luck once you plan properly and at times, it is imperative that we also have back up plans in the case the other plan fails. Nonetheless, it is also wise and proper to remember God in all your dealings and in no time you will blossom. The Bible says in proverb 16 Vs 3 that;
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Thy works as said there also include all your plans. Some versions of the Bible says thy ways while others say thy plans but in all God is always ready to support you if you are His friend.
it is very necessary to design your life plan yourself because if you don't, people will do that for you and trust me, they don't have much to offer.
