Choose a challenge you can describe clearly
The video description introduces resilience and business mindset without setting out a complete method. This article therefore provides questions to take into the recording rather than inventing Simon’s recommendations. Identify a situation that has disrupted your progress and separate what happened from what you can do next. You may need to change an assumption, ask for help or reduce the size of the next task. Resilience should not mean ignoring problems or continuing an approach that evidence shows is unhelpful. Review what you learned, what is within your control and what support is available. Discussing an experience with other owners can also make it easier to identify a realistic next action.
Three actions to try
- Describe one setback and the effect it has had.
- Separate the parts you can influence from those you cannot.
- Choose a realistic action or a useful question for support.
