This is probably obvious but I do not believe I have seen a poll on this before, and probably no one has done anything on this scale.

So there is this theory:
We all know the most successful people have vigorous planning routines with their lives.

I want to see if there is actually a correlation between people who are just winging it and becoming successful or if they have planned their lives to become successful.

FYI: All we should be interested in for this poll should be whether the person themselves believes they were successful.

Feel free to write your stories about whether you plan your life and whether it is actually useful or a hindrance.

    I planned on semi retirement by 40.

    Winged it by 37.

    Now I just need enough to fund my lifestyle.

    Have goals and purpose, then your actions should follow it.

    Thinking is easy part.

    The doing and action required is where most of us struggle.

    You'll need GRIT, Perseverance, etc… to keep going.

    Life isn't a straight road, there are lots of twists and turns before one can reach their goal.

    PS. After doing all that, success could is still a random event.

    i know a guy in high school who absolutely planned most of his life. he is now doing exactly what he planned and is loving it,

    i also went to school with a guy who did the same and planned and thought out everything, he is not living the way he thought it would be.

    you can plan all you like, but life and shit happens. and doesn't always play out the way you want,

    don't regret a decision you've made and learn to let go, and you'll be a happy person

    Spent my 20s wingin' it, now I'm in my 30s and planning. If I had my time again I'd do it the same, build yourself then build your wealth.

    Another poll option (that I subscribe to): Try a lot of stuff and keep what works. (I'm thriving)

    It's like natural selection that you undertake with your life.
