1. Stop! Just Stop!

Every decision you make from here forward with the wrong headspace is going to be a bad one. You are better to make no decisions than a bad decision so just stop.

2. Ask for specific advice that will help you to change your headspace.

There are always so many ways to fix a business. There are so many different options. But when we are in the middle of it we really can’t see that most of the time. Talking to somebody who can give you a varied view on options is always a great idea.

3. Do the worst case scenario test.

If everything really does fall apart then what is the worst possible thing that can happen. I learned that no business can kill me. I’m not going to die, and I do actually have lots of options. Just stop, ask, reassess the worst case, and then move forward with a new fresh plan.
