[PODCAST] What does it mean to have a Plan B?

What does it really mean to have a Plan B— especially these days? We’ve used the term Plan B for almost the entire 15 years since I started this business in 2009. Back then the national debt was really starting to become a major problem. The Federal Reserve was printing trillions of dollars to bail out irresponsible bankers. The economy was on the ropes after the Global Financial Crisis. Plus a guy who told business owners, “You didn’t build that,” had just become President of the United States— and then bizarrely awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. So the need for a “Plan B” seemed pretty obvious. Today there is a lot more reason to be optimistic. There’s people coming to power that want to take a wrecking ball to the rot, corruption, and inefficiency that has been plaguing the country for far too long. Frankly, I’m rooting for them. I’m even willing to pitch in and help. To be frank, I’m not comfortable with a world where China is the dominant superpower. And there certainly seems to be a real opportunity right now to get the country back on track. Let’s not be naive though. There are still serious challenges ahead. And the people coming to power have a very narrow window to get things back on track. But we haven’t had this much reason to be optimistic in quite a while. This isn’t just about an election or single individual, but rather a clear sign from the entire country, sick and tired of being lectured by out of touch “experts.” Voters practically demanded a return to sanity and prosperity, even if it means dismantling large chunks of a broken system. In today’s podcast, we talk about what it really means to have a Plan B in this kind of environment, where there’s reason to be optimistic, yet major challenges remain. This, after all, is the entire point of a Plan B; to put yourself in a position of strength, and take advantage of great opportunities, while hedging clear and obvious risks. We talk about that a lot in today’s episode. We actually start with our CEO Viktorija, fresh off of a Total Access trip to El Salvador, telling us about the VIP treatment our group received from senior levels in both the public and private sector. Then we transition into things that America needs to get right in short order. And the consequences if this doesn’t happen. We then discuss the concept of a Plan B, versus having a dangerous “bunker mentality”, and how to think about hedging those risks, both in terms of investments, as well as non-financial solutions. https://youtu.be/HGNFy5IU7CM One of the key ideas is taking steps that make sense, regardless of what might or might not happen int he future. And one example of this is building strong relationships with people who share your values. That’s the whole idea of what “community” is supposed to be. And this is exactly the type of community that we have developed with our Total Access group. There are incredible VIP trips, exclusive investment conferences, compelling private investment opportunities, in-depth research, world class discounts, and a whole lot more. But ultimately, the thing we are most proud of is the community and camaraderie among members. That is consistently what our Total Access members rate as the biggest benefit to our organization. Many say they have found their tribe. We usually keep membership closed, and only open up enrollment a few times each year. We are doing that right now, and you can check out more about Total Access here.
