So, to sum it up, here is a five-step system for dealing with adversity and extreme challenges while running a business:
- Compartmentalize it. Isolate the issue from all the other challenges you are dealing with.
- Apply extreme focus on each compartment, but only for a short period of time.
- Move forward in incremental steps. And once you see progress…
- Close the compartment and open the next one.
- Say “no†to things that don’t deserve a compartment.
