My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Crisis Creates Wealth for the Prepared

Evidence

Multiple entrepreneurs made millions during COVID by quickly pivoting to PPE, government contracts available with premium pricing

Implication

Entrepreneurs should maintain operational flexibility and crisis response capabilities as core competitive advantage

Counter Belief

Crisis wealth is mostly luck-based and unsustainable, with most quick pivots failing when markets normalize

Example Application

Manufacturing company builds 'crisis response team' with pre-established supplier relationships to pivot production within 30 days of any major disruption
