Last week, I wrote about the A-B-C strategy of setting goals to ensure you’ll be successful, where “Plan C” was your safety net if Plan A (your ideal) or Plan B (your backup) didn’t work out.

If you believe that Plan C is a consolation prize or “participation trophy,” then you need to watch this video to see how Plan C was a gift that saved me earlier in my career when my performance derailed in a meeting with my CFO.

And, hear how the advice I got from him was strikingly similar to Ted Lasso’s “be a goldfish” insight.
