Summary
“I would rather fail massively pursuing the desires of my heart, what I know to be true as a Plan A, than be safely snug at home suffering with the existence of Plan B.” – Brian Buffini
It is perceived wisdom that it’s always a good idea to have a Plan B, just in case Plan A doesn’t work out. In this episode, recorded live at the Buffini & Company MasterMind Summit, Brian explains why this is false thinking and why focusing on and decisively working towards what you really want is the best plan of all.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- To focus on your wins.
- The importance of being decisive.
- When to take action.
Buffini & Company MasterMind Summit is designed to inspire, motivate and help unlock the best version of you. Catch Brian live and hear from more dynamic speakers at MasterMind Summit 2020, August 2 – 4 in San Diego.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bryan Bafini Show. Today we have the privilege of listening in on a recorded |
| 0:20.9 | session of Bryan Live at our Mastermind Summit. This once a year event in sunny San Diego |
| 0:26.9 | is designed to help you become your best self with strategies to reach your full potential. |
| 0:31.9 | Let's listen in to Master Motivator Bryan Bafini. |
| 0:33.9 | When I was at the peak of my real estate career, my mother called me one day. No, it's not |
| 0:59.1 | a joke. I called her twice in 30 years. I always called her because that's a very expensive phone. |
| 1:04.1 | I called her but we're having a chat and I'm like cranking. I got 20 deals a month going on. |
| 1:12.1 | I got 30 some referrals coming in every month. Things are cranking. We're having a nice chat. I've |
| 1:18.1 | since retired my dad, taken care of him for life, everything's good, everything's great. She says to me, |
| 1:25.1 | Bryan, I was tanking. You remember when you were in school and you were doing the accounting? |
| 1:30.1 | Would you ever get your accounting in America just to follow back on? |
| 1:37.1 | Now, I want you to know that 10 years into Mastermind that she's sitting with 5,000 people in the |
| 1:44.1 | Armstrong. She goes, did you ever do that in about that accounting thing? Like I still need to. |
| 1:50.1 | Because what that represents is this. Plan B represents this phrase, put it in the margin. |
| 1:56.1 | Here's how it can often be. Don't get your hopes up. Don't get your hopes up. Don't be disappointed. |
| 2:04.1 | I did a broadcast some years ago called the power of a made up mind. How many of you heard that one? |
| 2:10.1 | It's been the most successful, most widely distributed recording we've ever done by a lot. |
| 2:17.1 | And you never really know, right? You do the best you can to meet people's needs. |
| 2:21.1 | But you hear that and you have the power of a made up mind. That's gone all over the world. |
| 2:25.1 | Millions of people have heard that because they obviously needed to hear it because we obviously struggle with not |
| 2:31.1 | having our mind made up. If that makes sense, say, I, so we're going to talk about no plan B. |
| 2:37.1 | Now, ultimately plan A is what I want, what I think I should. This is like I've gone through this, I've gone through that. |
