the unimaginable. Season 2 of the Unimaginable hones in on individuals who have led unimaginable

lives by following their instinct from guests like Tyco White TT. Stick to your vision of what

you're trying to do. It's just more pure. The failure is more pure and the success is more pure.

This season delivers behind-the-scenes conversations about the many roads to success. Listen to

the unimaginable on the iHeart radio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is to build it before you need it. If you have a good support system in place,

far fewer woes turn into disasters. Long-time listeners know that I have five children

and any working parent soon learns that even the best child care won't be a hundred percent

available. Your babysitter can get sick or have her own family emergencies.

Your kid might be slightly sick and thus not able to go to school or daycare.

Schools can close for weather and sometimes there are half days for various reasons.

You need backup options. The absolute worst time to be figuring out the backup option

is when you realize that option A is not available at 7.30am and you are giving a presentation to

an important group of people at 8.30am. You need to create a backup system at a time when you

don't need it. So it will be available when you do need it.

So it goes for many things in life. The whole point of an emergency fund is to put away cash

when you don't desperately need it. So that when you do need money, you don't have to borrow

at high interest rates. The worst time to be networking and figuring out who in your industry is

hiring is when you have just lost a job. You want to have those connections in place before you

need them. You want an emergency kit in your car when your car is actually functioning.
