A breakup, a betrayal, and then an early buyout. I lost three partners in 2020. Each one came as a shock, even when I knew it was coming. But, because I had already thought through what I wanted and what could happen in these scenarios, I was prepared. I didn't end up doing anything that was actually in my backup plan, but having it already thought through, I was ready to act. No matter what came next. This past week, I missed two days on my Ship30For30 challenge. Due to some bad news from the family. I sat down and I started outlining a dozen new posts. So that even if I didn't have time to write that day, or if I had to hop on a plane. And wasn't going to be able to publish, I would have something to put out and I could focus on keeping the habit and the consistency alive. Having a backup plan is about keeping the chain going. It's about giving you the room to breathe while you build good habits. All systems need contingencies built in. Backups have backups and backups on top of them when they're important. All of that ties in to a system's ability to measure where it's at, provide feedback, and adapt accordingly. Having a plan B isn't committing to failure. It isn't wondering if you're not good enough. Having a plan B is just good business. ![[Always Have A Plan B.mp4]] See Also: 1. [[1. Ship30For30]] 2. [[Business Partnership Checklist 1]] 3. [[GOTLife (2021-2022)]] 4. [[Types Of Capital]]
