    A plan that stays nimble is def key. πŸ’― But just as crucial is having the discipline to work that plan day in and out, even when it gets tough. Learn from your L's, iterate often, and keep on pushing. There's no magic bullet, just smart strategy + relentless grind. πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺ

    @hugodominiccarmichael Thanks for the useful insight, and I like the term "Learn from your L's" very much.

    There is nothing called - "A Perfect Plan", the outside world dynamics changes every minute, you cannot form a complete plan based on certain assumptions that might change in the future. You'll have to make changes with the circumstances that are prevailing that time, I believe A partial plan is more successful as you can mold your future strategies with the current market dynamics

    @divya_ladha You can say that "a perfect plan" is something when people usually say we are ready, on the other hand "a partial plan" is when people say Let's just start even if we are not ready. A perfect plan gives you false sense of confidence that what I am about to do is going to be 100% successful and that is the first reason to start any process the wrong way. I am totally agreeing with you, Divya.

    In think, there's no plan that is guaranteed to be successful, but a flexible plan that can adapt to the situation usually has a greater chance. What is also important is consistent execution and learning from mistakes.

    @misnaaaairaaa So it looks like you'll start with a partial plan because it has room for everything which makes it a flexible plan as well.

    Hey ShahZaib, I’d say a complete plan generally helps more.

    @eric_lens What's a complete plan to you?
