Ready Aim Fire vs Ready Aim Ready Aim vs Ready Fire Aim

By Anonymous -
Following on my post below "Ready Aim Fire", I would like to discuss the above categories of approaches towards acting on one's project. 

      Sam (below) has now started researching ideas for his cooking school project. Yaye! He is really excited and looks forward to the launch of his cooking school. 

      Fast forward another 10 years. Sam is still planning his cooking school project! Sam has so unfortunately fallen into the category of people who think that they are taking the Ready Aim Fire approach but instead are really taking the Ready Aim Ready Aim approach. Let's discuss the differences. 
 

      Ready Aim Fire: this means that you are quick to seize on the opportunities that come your way. But you don't just seize them blindly.
 
     Once you see an opportunity, you get ready by doing market research and studying your competition, you aim by planning and conceptualising your project and then you fire by launching your project eventually.
 
      You may not always succeed as life is just oh-so-unpredictable. But your chances of succeeding are definitely higher than a person like Sam who is always in the Ready Aim Ready Aim mode. What does this mean? 
 

       Ready Aim Ready Aim: you act on the opportunities that come your way. But you don't just seize them blindly. Once you see an opportunity, you get ready by doing market research and studying your competition, you aim by planning and conceptualising your project and then you go back to doing MORE RESEARCH and then you do MORE PLANNING AND CONCEPTUALISING.
 
       You never fire and launch your project. You are always stuck in the researching and planning mode! If this is what you are doing, you will never be able to make your idea a reality. Thus, when you have done your fair share of research and done enough planning, you should just go ahead and launch your project.
 
        You will never be able to do all the research and planning that you ever need to launch your project. Nothing is ever perfect. You just need to research and plan good enough. And then implement your idea. You will make mistakes along the way.
 
        You can then tweak your plan to avoid making the same mistakes. 
 
        However, please remember that you have to do your fair share of research and planning before you act on your idea.

        Don't slip into the Ready Fire Aim mode. This means that you seize an opportunity and act on it even before you do research and plan to assess if it is a viable opportunity. 
 
        You can't just get READY AND FIRE AIMLESSLY! You need to have a plan. You need to have a system in place! If not, it will be very hard to succeed because you will just be like a chicken running around without its head.

        Your ideas will be all over the place and it will be very hard to succeed even though you have acted on your ideas. You need A PLAN! 

        Get into your Ready Aim Fire mode today! And let me know how your projects go :)

Bleeding Again

During updating Patrick's status to a friend of mine today, Patrick called out from the bed. I looked up to his dancing eyes and smiling face. This would usually put me in smiles. Instead, I watched his face more closely than usual. Much earlier this morning, closer to 2am, his vomit was mixed with blood. He was down with flu and cough since late last week. Earlier this week since Monday, the past couple of nights had been trying to us both. He woke up a few times coughing that caused him to vomit out his milk. For my readers who have not been aware, every night his nasogastric tube attached to a machine that pumped in milk throughout the night. I do this upon the doctor's advice to assist him to gain weight. HIs running nose irritated Patrick when its mucus dripped onto his upper lip. His body temperature did not appear to reach 37.5C and beyond. He has been active, as per his normal self except during the night he appeared to be more fussy than usual. He also appeared to

Surgery On My Baby

The birth of Patrick changed my marriage life from the two of us to the three of us, a family. We were excited, happy, worried followed by all kind of emotions for our baby son. So many things to learn, to experience. Breastfeeding, constant thoughts on our baby's well being especially when his jaundice appeared to rise during his first month. The lacking of sleep. There were moments I observed his breathing while he slept. We were amazed by every new mannerisms that Patrick displayed. We were so charmed when he first smiled to us. I would observed how gently my husband would treat Patrick and how Patrick would looked up to him, listening to his every word. Mummy supporting and loving baby We were enjoying ourselves as new parents until something happened in the middle of November 2017 that changed our lives forever. "There is something not right with his stools." My sister in law remarked to me while I tiredly changed Patrick's diapers. Menta

Bario Cinnamon - From the Land of a Hundred Handshakes

By: Chong Sheau Ching July 10, 2018 What is it? When you buy Bario cinnamon, you get it in the form of a two and half foot - long stick. They are harvested by a group of farmers from ‘Bario Agro Biodiversity Hub,’ Bario, Kelabit Highlands in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. It is trucked along a grueling logging road for twelve hours from Bario to Miri City, and then by sea freight from Miri Port to Port Klang before being transported to Kuala Lumpur, or from Miri Airport to KLIA and then transported to the city. The cinnamon trees are of the Cassia variety. They grow wild in pristine, lush, primary jungles among the flora and fauna such as those in the Bario Communal Park. The cinnamon bark harvested is thus 100% organic with ABSOLUTELY no chemicals as the trees grow in the thick Bornean jungle. Cinnamon is a traditional medicine used especially to ‘warm’ the stomach.   The Kelabits (main inhabitants in the Kelabit Highlands) also use the cinnamon bark in teas and i
