The phone rings. Your biggest client just walked. Your lead developer quit. The server crashed. Your investor meeting is in two hours.
I’ve watched 50 years of entrepreneurs face this exact moment.
Here’s what separates the survivors from the casualties:
The survivors don’t waste time asking “Why me?” They ask “What now?”
They don’t hide in their office. They walk the floor and tell their team exactly what’s happening. No sugar-coating. No false optimism. Just truth.
[Email readers, continue here…] They don’t try to fix everything at once. They pick the one fire that could burn the whole house down and attack that first.
Most importantly? They remember that every great company has a story that starts with “Everything went wrong, and then…”
Your worst day might be the prologue to your best chapter.
The question isn’t whether storms will hit your business. They will.
The question is: Are you building a company that bends without breaking?
