HCP 6: Plan for success, get closer to your goals
In this episode of The Happy Choir Podcast, let’s explore how to plan for success. This plan will get you closer to the goals you want. Acting as if success was inevitable, honesty, setting deadlines, and much more. When you plan for success, you can rule out uncertainties or you are prepared for them, getting you closer to accomplishing the task.

Disclaimer: Maybe you can write a two-hour opera in a day, I am not saying you can’t. I am just making an example here, but I do want to write about this because it can be a fun experiment to do. If I did this (which I am going to!) It would probably be my shitty first draft of an opera, right?
