How many plans actually have a backup plan? A lot of people are very confident in their original plan that they don’t make one. Being confident is all good, but without a backup plan, you start to panic and lose sight as the plan you had unfolded just didn’t live up to your expectation (or worse if it fails).
Backup plans are made just in case the original plan might fail. Can we say that the one with the most backup plans win? Nothing ever goes smoothly in business so having a few backup plans increases your chance of success.
How to make a good backup plan? Well, first of all you must think of all the plays in the plan that might go wrong and provide a good counter for each one. By predicting actions that your enemy might make, you can create multiple backup plans to counter the enemy.
Every plan needs a backup plan. We all like to think our original plan is the best, but having a backup plan is like having insurance. Overconfidence on your original plan will eliminate your need for a backup plan. Try not to be too overconfident in your original plan.
