The Post-Coronavirus Economy-Befriending Fear
Yes, most people have
lost money.
Industries have been
destroyed.
People are hurting.
And yet, behind the
scenes of the fear mongering media, new industries, ideas, and new ways of life
are beginning to sprout.
[Note: Though things are bad, nothing has been lost that cannot
be rediscovered (and, this time, with a newfound appreciation). As you may
know, we here at LFT are insufferable
optimists about the future of freedom, sovereignty, and prosperity… but not for
no reason. More on that soon.]
Ferriss, a friend to the
Stoics, realizes one important thing that will make ALL the difference;
Fear, if not dealt with,
will block us from seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Ancient Technique to Befriend Fear
It’s often the case that
people emotionally unprepared for a crisis will FREEZE…
Or do something wildly
counterproductive…
All out of not being
prepared -- or being unwilling -- to handle their own emotional state in a time
of crisis.
One way to keep your
head, then, is an ancient Stoic technique called premeditatio
malorum (or foreseeing badness).
In short, when trying to
make a big decision…
You visualize (and write
out) the absolute worst-case scenario you can imagine (including, but not
limited to, facing death square in the jaw).
And then you write how
you would deal with it.
“A big part of that for
me,” says Ferriss of this technique, “has been deeply envisioning the
worst-case scenarios and what they would not just look like, but FEEL like to
observe and experience.”
Ferriss gave the example
of his portfolio dropping up to 70%... and the decision he had to make
beforehand, knowing he would take a hit.
“... In this case,” he
said, “I’m referring to Uber, that I was an early advisor to so it represents a
disproportionately high percentage of my net-worth.”
After much deliberation,
seeing the virus coming, and considering the worst-case scenario...
Ferriss sold a small
amount in February, and decided to hold the rest.
“That could prove to be a terrible, terrible, terrible decision,” he admitted. “This could be the worst financial decision of my life…”
But it’s a decision he’s willing to make for himself, accept any consequences, and move forward.

But it’s a decision he’s willing to make for himself, accept any consequences, and move forward.
One of the perks of
”negative visualization” is you PURGE yourself of the dreaded “analysis
paralysis” brought on by fear.
And, having not acted
completely out of fear, you’re able to move on without regret.
