The Self-Initiative Project, Podcast 26, What if... ? The Importance of Thinking Through Scenarios
How can you start considering your personal safety or taking it more seriously? How can you be better prepared for disaster and things when they go sideways? Think through scenarios.
One of the best things you can do is think through scenarios in order to become better prepared. Thinking through possible situations, their outcomes, and what you would do can put you into a position of being better able to handle those situations. Because you have thought through things ahead of time, you are better able to formulate a plan, putting you in a position of advantage.
Thinking through things ahead of times allows us to see where we may have shortcomings, so we can address them; and most importantly, it allows us to put a plan in place ahead of time.
Don't have the time to think about your personal safety? You can think through scenarios at any time, including in the car or even in the shower.
Be better prepared. Learn areas where you may need some training. Think through scenarios and what you would do. Get a plan in place ahead of time, before you need one.
What would you do if... ?
Thanks for listening.

The Self-Initiative Project, Podcast 25, Situational Awareness and More
I sit down with Kelly Sayre, of The Diamond Arrow Group, to talk about situational awareness.
We talk about what situational awareness is and what it takes to notice things that may be out of place or may just be not quite right. Kelly and I discuss the importance listening to your intuition, your gut, your sixth sense, so you can better be able to respond if something bad is happening. And we talk about your willingness to set AND enforce boundaries.
We discuss the main reason why some folks feel they cannot dedicate more energies to their personal safety and some really easy ways to get started.
Women and men alike will want to listen to this episode.
Sit back. Relax. And listen.

Why be Invested in Your Personal Safety

The Self-Initiative Project, Podcast 23, Why be Invested in Your Personal Safety
It is more like: Why are you not invested in your own personal safety?
The Secure Dad joins us as we talk about how to get people interested in their own personal safety. Andy and I discuss the things that caused us to first become more invested in our personal safety and how that changed our thinking overall.
We indirectly talk on the subject of why folks should be invested in their own personal safety and that of their loved ones. We even discuss why some feel it is unnecessary to be concerned with it. Most importantly, we talk about ways to begin thinking about it and incorporating ideas and practices into your life.
No one is there to save you; and 911 may or may not get to you on time. What are you going to do? Do you at least have a plan?
Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own personal safety and preparedness.
Sit back. Relax. And listen.
