To Plan B, or not to Plan B, that is the question!

A week or so prior I spotted a LinkedIn post about how having a Plan B was a bad thing to do; by way of not being totally committed to your primary business plan.

I must say at first I was taken back by the post. I totally dismissed the way the argument was put forward and the basic idea of having no Plan B. To say the least this post really got me to thinking about the argument being put forward.

I then started thinking about how I had strategised in the past by way of making plans; in fact, the more I thought about this I started to see how my business plans in the broadest of strokes did not have a so called Plan B ether; but in saying this they had what I call a level of fluidness within the framework to allow for any so-called unforeseen market changes.

This allowed for corrections/adjustments and at the same time keep within the overall plan.

So in saying the above, perhaps a Plan A and Plan B can be one in the same; Plan B need not be a plan that takes you off in a different direction and stops you from being totally committed to your primary business plan, but one that helps you keep on track with the overall objective!

Food for thought!
