Life can be unpredictable sometimes, and things may not always go as planned. Even the best plans can be hit by unexpected setbacks, which may delay or derail a project execution. This is why a good manager learns to make contingency plans to mitigate failure.

Planning for setbacks, is a crucial aspect of risk management that everyone ought to learn. It involves anticipating potential challenges or setbacks for your goals and developing strategies to minimize their impact ahead of time.

Just like a wise and discreet person that our opening text describes, each time you set out your goals, also try to identify the risk factors that could derail your plans. These may be factors within or beyond your control.

For instance, what happens if a principal team member suddenly calls in sick? How will you proceed with your project, if suddenly, expected funds delays? Scenarios like this should be considered when double checking your plan for a project, so that you may make adequate back up plans.

Your back up plan should include alternative approaches that you may adopt if things do not go according to plan. By doing this, you can increase your chances of success, and give yourself a competitive edge among your peers.

Remember, planning for setbacks is not about being pessimistic, it is about being prepared. By anticipating potential risks and developing contingency plans, you can minimize the impact of any setback and keep your project or business on track.

🏞️ PRAYER FOR A NATION – NAURU
Having received the Gospel in the early 1900s, Nauruans are still quite religious (91.5% Christian). But, for many, their faith is works-based, with little understanding of the Gospel.

1. Prayer for the nation: Father in the name of Jesus, send forth labourers into the churches in Nauru; men of understanding who will teach the believers sound knowledge, in Jesus Name.
2. Prayer for the leaders: Oh Lord, cause the government and leaders of Nauru to formulate policies that will favour the course of the Gospel in the nation, in Jesus Name.
