We explore why most chaos is predictable and therefore preventable. Discover the three essential steps to stop chaos before it starts: Identify Your Top Three Chaos Points to focus your energy, build a robust Failsafe Prep System (like the Night-Before Power Hour) to pave the path to success, and create a Contingency Buffer of time and resources to absorb unexpected shocks.
