That’s why episode 32 of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries is about having a plan B with a contingency plan!

• Using a coach in your planning process to guide you through the steps and to keep you accountable for finishing it.
• Your personal contingency plan should always come before your business plan.
• Ways in which having a contingency plan for your business could benefit you now and save you later on.
• Why and when you might want to consider putting this plan in place. Hint: it is a lot sooner than you might think.
