Learning from the Aurora Colorado Massacre: Applying the OODA Loop

Welcome to the only entrepreneur forum dedicated to building life-changing wealth.

Build a Fastlane business. Earn real financial freedom. Live your best life.

Tired of paying for dead communities hosted by absent gurus who don't have time for you?

Imagine having a multi-millionaire mentor by your side EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Since 2007, MJ DeMarco has been a cornerstone of Fastlane, actively contributing on over 99% of days—99.92% to be exact! With more than 39,000 game-changing posts, he's dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their freedom. Join a thriving community of over 90,000 members and access a vast library of over 1,000,000 posts from entrepreneurs around the globe.

Forum membership removes this block.
Which is most. They might have thought it through 100 times in their head, but they are purely unprepared (in most cases) for counter maneuvers. Any time you can switch from defense to offense, forcing your opponent to switch from offense to defense... you start his OODA Loop over again, and you are already in your progression.

It won't ward off every possible situation, but the discipline is relevant to many aspects of daily life.

I hope you guys and gals enjoyed this series, and I hope that some of you put it in to practice.
Well said.

"
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth."

I'm just drawing on personal experiences. Experiences that have no reason to be brought up here.
