Plan for collapse, treat dips like weather

Gulf Coast crews don't panic when the forecast changes. They already built for the version that doesn't go as planned. That's the whole game. Most investors wait for calm water to plan their next move. Backwards. The plan is supposed to get made before anything breaks. Here's what nobody tells you. The people staying calm during the policy swings and summit headlines aren't smarter. They just did the hard math on bad scenarios months ago. Once you've planned for collapse, a dip is just Tuesday. Do the hard work early. Everything after that feels like weather.
