When you know what’s coming, prepare. When you don’t know what’s coming, position.
If you have a presentation on the calendar next week, you can rehearse. If you have an appointment, you can easily factor in travel time so you’re not late. If you know the bill is due next year, you can save the money this year.
When the future is uncertain, you can position. No one knows what’s going to happen with the economy, but you can position yourself against potential loss by spending less than you earn. You don’t know what’s going to happen to your health, but you can strengthen your position against disease by exercising.

Being well-positioned enables anyone to come out ahead no matter what obstacles the unknown may present. (View Tweet)
