CHANGE YOUR THINKING CHANGE YOUR LIFE
mentally prepare for these inevitable difficulties before they happen.
You say to yourself: “Today I will face all kinds of ups and downs, diffi-
culties and setbacks, but I will not let them get me down. Once I start to-
ward my goal, I will be unstoppable!”
■ PRACTICE CRISIS ANTICIPATION
In business consulting, we teach a way of thinking called “crisis an-
ticipation.” I encourage decision makers to look six months to a
year into the future and ask the question, “What are some of the
negative things that could happen that would derail our plans? Of
all of them, what are the very worst things that could happen?”
We then make a list of all the different setbacks or unexpected
emergencies that could occur that would threaten the enterprise.
