What’s your Plan B?
Do you have a Plan B? Not many people do. I find that surprising.
A large number of people that I have encountered are worried about the economy, and their jobs and income. And rightly so – it’s still a nerve racking – stress producing economy.
I don’t blame them for being worried, but what I wonder about is why don’t they have a Plan B. By Plan B , I mean another potential source of income that touches upon your passions and dreams. A back-up plan that you can turn to if the worse happens and your primary income shrinks. Something that brings you joy, and an income.
So many people are waiting passively for the economy to change, and are not playing an active role in their career and professional development. And as they wait, they worry, become anxious and stressed out.
Which one are you? Waiting and worrying or actively building your Plan B, and reaching towards your dreams?
There’s some great resources out there. Try reading Free to Succeed by Barbara Reinhold, Career Renegade by Jonathan Fields or The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. All of these books will tap into your dreams and get you thinking about what’s next for you.
