00:00:00.000 have a disaster recovery plan. I learned this back when we were building data centers with my
00:00:04.420 software company. If the power went down, you had the backup generators kick in and it took over.
00:00:09.360 The challenge is you had to have the checklist already designed so that when it happened,
00:00:13.200 you got to stay cool, calm, and collected. Nobody was running around freaking out like,
00:00:17.440 did anybody put the diesel in the generator? You tested it every once in a while and you
00:00:21.560 made sure you had the checklist ready to go because it allows you to move incredibly fast
00:00:25.420 knowing that if at any point something happens, you've already made the decision on how you're
00:00:29.560 going to react. Jim Rohn once said, never begin the day until you finish it on paper. When you
00:00:34.600 start something, you should plan for success and you should plan for worst case. So that way you
00:00:38.740 build a plan around both and you never have to think about it. And when they're going great,
00:00:42.480 or there's an issue, you can go back to the plan.
