Game Plan is the first "how-to" investment handbook of its type. It will explain the emerging risks and provide a complete game plan of response for investors at all levels.

Just as a football team must plan for a variety of offensive strategies and attacks, investors must be prepared to strategically adjust. This audiobook provides the game plan to respond and succeed.

Managing during a crisis is much easier if your organization has a foundation that supports, rather than diverts, time and resources from your response to the pandemic. Emerging successfully is much more likely if the foundation you have built speeds up your actions rather than slows them down. It all comes down to good common sense. If you go into a crisis in a strong position, you are much more likely to handle it well, be resilient, and emerge strong. If you go into a crisis weak or off balance, you will have a much bigger challenge and may be lucky to merely survive.
