In a very interesting post It Doesn’t Matter If You Win or Lose Jarkko has raised a very important point If your company went down today, what would be the legacy it left behind? Just try to answer this question and believe me you would struggle to find the answer. The reason is simple- Most of us don’t have the PLAN B ready.

So what is PLAN B. Your Job, Current approach in a project, decisions, route taken etc. is you’re PLAN A. If PLAN A does not work you need an alternative. The alternative is always your PLAN B. It is important to have a backup plan available in order to take care of contingencies. Most of us don’t think about it and many of us don’t even care to believe in it. We live in a world where we think nothing can go bad with us. Things can go bad with anyone around us but they cannot even touch us.

When we work on project with limited resources we always have our PLAN B ready. You never know when things can go bad and need to shift to an alternative. A small company was facing a lot of problem with its Internet Service Provider. They needed a backup but maintaining two vendors were very costly. They did not wanted to change vendor too because others were no better. Their Business was suffering at times and it became more of a headache. The need of PLAN B was there and finally they got what they wanted. The company booked many Internet Café’s across the city where their employees were shifted every time the internet went down. It was a cost effective solution well within their budget. The management was relaxed because they have the PLAN B with them.

In life also we need alternatives in the form of PLAN B. What will happen if the job market deteriorates? Do we know what we would do? Keep aside luxuries are we ready even to meet our basic necessities. I am sure most of us are not. Maybe we won’t require it throughout our life. But what is the harm in even thinking about it. When you do that keep two things in mind

1) Be realistic in thoughts

2) Try to connect the plan with your Hobby

Most important is that you should think about it. Connect it with your Hobby because this would be something which will keep you excited. You don’t need to start today but a thought would definitely make you feel comfortable. Believe me, an old saying, Rome was not built in a day.
