Preparedness 101 for 2025 - It Looks Different

Send us Fan MailI’ve written at length over the past few months about the political and economic crises that looms over the world, the jaxapositioning of nations to find their place in the new world order and the likely impacts on populations. This polycrisis is longitudinal, will continue until 2032 and has many more hands to play, which makes it that much more difficult to predict the next moves or to adjust your personal strategy. While there are unknown disruptions around the corner and some will be novel, some will be repetitious, the foundational truth remains, we are in control of very little and that is perfect. Cue the role of preparedness.That plan, created for any unit of measure, is the secret weapon for 2025. We need to, without question, understand that each of us are exposed to some common influences but that at the smaller units of measure, the discrepancies increase. Few family risk profiles will look the same, necessitating a different strategy, but all existing in the same world. This is the role of community, to foster these discussions, to support everyone on their journey to finding a roadmap to success. We’re all on different lanes of the same highway, together we can win the day, periodically supporting those who need assistance. Each unit of measure needs a strategy, to navigate the current and future series of exogenous shocks from all five of the spheres of influence - political, economic, cultural, natural and familial. The exercise is one of time and effort, consideration and thinking. It is free, requires no commitment of financial resources, but the time to consider risks, codifying severity, assessing those that need amelioration and in doing so, create that roadmap to adopting preparedness, to be ready for come what may.This is the preparedness message for 2025, to accept the environment you’re in, to understand it and the influence it has upon your family and write a strategy to navigate disruptions that are beyond your control, as a community, together. Ask yourself, can you identify the unacceptable risks to which your family is exposed to? If the response is yes, can you articulate the strategy your family is using to mitigate?If you cannot, you’re not ready for 2025, and it’s already here.Support the showhttps://preparednesslabs.ca/
