Is Your Plan B Actually Your Plan A?

You're stuck between two plans. Plan A is what you tell yourself you want. Plan B is your safety net, the fallback if things don't work out. Except you're not pursuing Plan A with real commitment. And you're not building Plan B either. You're trapped in permanent indecision, calling it strategy.

But here's what you're missing: your Plan B probably isn't a backup plan at all. It's just another Plan A that you're too scared to admit you want.

You call moving to Spain your "backup plan" when you actually fantasise about living there. You call starting a different business your "fallback" when you're genuinely excited about that idea too. You label going back to your hometown as Plan B when part of you desperately wants the simplicity of that life.

These aren't safety nets. They're desires you've rebranded as contingencies to avoid making a real choice.
