You can’t help anyone if you get yourself hurt.ģ) Start Getting Products/Results: You need to have something to give when people are in need. Get moving!Ģ) Your Safety and Success First: Put yourself at risk, not in more danger. You don’t need to figure everything out from beginning to end, just start by going A from B. Ask yourself, “Am I ready for chaos?” Do you have the money? Do you have the friends? Do you handle chaos or do you add to the chaos?ġ) Stay Committed to Success & Prioritize: On Tuesday I wasn’t worried about who was going to handle the supplies once I was in Houston because the first step was simply going to CostCo in Miami to get the supplies. There are severe cases of people who don’t have their meds and people who’ve been separated from family. Harvey will exceed the combined cost of Katrina and Sandy.
40% of small businesses won’t survive this event.You’re taught how to read and write in school but nothing on how to handle chaos. When chaos comes, when the hurricane hits, how do you handle it? As I just flew back from relief efforts in Houston, I’m reminded of what I talk about in The 1 0X Rule-people underestimate the effort required to keep the show on the road. People didn’t plan on this happening-and that’s why you have to be financially prepared in advance. Hurricane Harvey is a perfect example of this.
