Love that scene from that movie (we seem to have the same taste in movies).  What I take away is that it not so much about not having a plan B, but rather about our relationship with plan B.  Plan B is not an escape hatch!  Plan A stands the best chance of working if we give it 110% of our energy, focus and intention.

Foghorn Leghorn (yes the cartoon and I am dating myself!) used to draw himself in the beginning of the cartoon.  He also had a giant eraser.  I like to tell people that while it may be prudent to have a plan B, if they construct it in their mind like it's a back door it will weaken their stand for and focus on Plan A.  So when you notice you have constructed a back door get out that big eraser.

Really great post Mike.  I am getting a lot of great food for thought out of your posts on this theme of the war on apathy.
