Ever heard the phrase: “don’t borrow trouble?” I don’t know about you but I grew up with it and understood it to mean something to the effect of don’t worry about things that are unlikely to happen or out of your control, right?
So when I first learned to concept of anticipating Barriers to my Business Plan, I thought – why would I want to ‘borrow trouble’ like that? Why worry about things that MIGHT throw me off track when I’m just working to set my lofty goals and make great plans to reach those goals.
Here’s the problem with that thinking…barriers exist to most of the goals that we set. Whether we want to admit it or not and whether or not we plan for them…potential (and likely) barriers exist to most of our goals. When we simply ignore those barriers, we set ourselves up for failure.
