When Your Plan Doesn’t Go To Plan

6/9/2010

For months now I have been very excited about the 2 week holiday my hubby and I were going to take together.  For weeks there was a mass of preparation to go on our campervan holiday through the NSW south coast.  Preparations included having the campervan mechanically sound, clothing for all seasons, food, and where we were going to visit.  I am a planner so the months leading up were rather exciting in itself as I do love to plan. In fact I know I am on a roll when I start creating lists and getting underway.

I had left nothing to chance and had lists galore, maps galore and plans galore.  The holiday started with a fabulous trip down to Lakes Entrance followed by a leisurely drive to Merimbula.  The holiday was going to plan and I was in my element.  As the first few days unfolded we found the campervan was a little restrictive.  We had always only gone on short weekend trips of no more than 3-4 days.  We found packing up the campervan to go out on a day trip a little cumbersome so we ended up spending more time walking and cycling, not actually venturing too far out of town.

Over the course of the first week we decided that on our return to Melbourne we would look at upgrading the campervan to a small caravan or similar.  By the time we reached Bateman’s Bay we had convinced ourselves that this was the best option.  A few technical and physical hitches (my husband’s aching back) found us preferring to spend time staying in caravan park unit accommodation over staying in the somewhat cramped campervan.

My plan had been to be the intrepid campervanner enjoying happy hour under the awning, sipping wine and chatting with other caravanners.  This ended up not being the case as you were more removed from the action as you are in a unit.  By the time we were heading home we had traded the campervan in on our own little caravan and are off next week to complete the transaction.  Not what I planned?  Far from it!  I have to say you, can get so caught up in your plans that sometimes you miss the things right there in front of you that present themselves to you.

It is the same in business; you can be so caught up in the planning if you’re not careful you may miss opportunities that present themselves out of nowhere.  It is always ideal to have a plan, a road map of where you want your business to be heading, don’t be scared to divert off the route and pursue other opportunities, you never know where it may lead you.
