⁣It is easier to make a plan than to develop a strategy.

A plan is a list of action steps to achieve a goal.

When we are planning we are thinking of 1 option, 1 route that will lead us to where we want to go.

But often, plans crash.

They crash because team members, timing, resources and environmental factors play a big part on how things will happen. ⁣
⁣
If we just focus on this way of thinking, we will waste too much time and energy on plan A, B, C. ⁣ Doubts will chime in, slowing things down.⁣
⁣
A strategy is different to a plan for it is dynamic in nature.

It is the design of a long-term roadmap open to evolution. ⁣
⁣
A plan is…

• Short-term
• Focused on achieving one objective
• Static in nature
• Organized action steps

A strategy is…

• Long-term
• Focused on achieving several objectives
• Dynamic in nature
• Evolving with several plans and options
• Organized taking in consideration people, time, efforts and resources
• Open to situation and risk analysis

⁣
We can use a plan for each business or life objective. ⁣

We can use a strategy to uphold the energy of the mission and vision.
