A short spoken segment advising entrepreneurs to openly discuss potential failures, probe likely failure points, and create contingency plans. It emphasizes valuing team members who question risks, preparing for unexpected problems, and balancing optimism with critical scrutiny during planning and execution.
A lot of entrepreneurs are afraid to really talk about all the things that could go wrong for fear of being too negative, and resist others talking about the things that might go wrong for, you know, casting a buzz or a bad hex or something on on their plans to probe deeply about the things that are most likely to go wrong and to deal with that. Create contingency plans around those. Don't avoid that. And if you have people on your team always seem a bit negative and questioning what could go wrong, you should thank those people and empower those people. That's not the only perspective, but it's really important, because things will go wrong, like all kinds of things. Not necessarily the things you thought about. But having done a big, broad reach of the things that are most likely to go wrong, you'll have a few contingencies to deal with as your project, as your mission unfolds.
