This Chaos - Your Plan, Finding Your Strategy to Win

These are challenging times, we are facing an ever-increasing frequency of dramatic alternations to the international order, which have downstream influences on our lives. There seems little we control and therefore are doomed to be victims.

A counter to that is to understand that we do have options, there is a methodology to find certainty and lower anxiety in these chaotic times. In this episode, we discuss the ideas of first understanding that there is little in your control and that we must accept decisions that are beyond our control.

We do that by first determining what it is that keeps us up at night, what events if they occur would be impactful. We then find solutions to these outcomes, usually in alternate sources of income, different locations where we may live and ideas that reduce the potential impact of an external decision. When you have a strategy to mitigate the effects of government policy imposed on you and your business, you have less stress. With less anxiety you can focus on your dreams, your goals.

I often refer to the analogy of a simple question: "why do you swing your legs out of bed in the morning, what is your goal or purpose?". Every successful person has a plan, a roadmap they're following to reach a goal that is important to them, irrespective of the actions of others. That's the key, you build a robust preparedness strategy to allow you to pursue your goals. So when a populist international leader imposes sanctions or tariffs on your industry causing a direct impact on your income, you're ready. You have a plan, a strategy, and that allows you to chase your dreams and sleep soundly at night.
