When problems arise, try these tips:

• Understand that difficulties, mistakes, and setbacks are
an inevitable part of business and life. No matter how
well you plan and how hard you work, things can always
change and require you to react.

• Dealing with trouble promptly is usually the best
approach and is generally more cost-effective than hop-
ing trouble will go away.
• Don’t allow problems to knock you off your feet. Take
sufficient time to determine the problem’s cause, and
then deal with it objectively and reasonably. Get expert
advice.
• Learn from each situation. As you deal with each prob-
lem, note what you learned from it so you don’t repeat
that same mistake. Situations often repeat themselves, so
next time the problem occurs, you should be prepared to
handle it.
