Why is "plan to reach your goal" included as a step in the decision-making process rather than ending the process at "make your decision"?

Choosing an option identifies what you want to do, but it does not ensure that you will actually do it. A follow-through plan turns the decision into concrete steps that help you reach your goal. Therefore, “A decision without a follow-through plan is unlikely to produce the desired outcome” is the best answer.
