Focus on the solution: Stop wasting time thinking of ways to disguise your problem in an attempt to fool customers. All great stories have problems that get resolved. Putting pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) can help reveal the solution. 

Welcome the risk: Not all problems are bad problems – even though it feels differently. Take the time to examine what the liabilities will be for your business and then implement changes to minimize them.

Assess policies and procedures to understand what could be causing the problem and making it worse. This is an ideal time to change the way you do things.

Recognize any strained relationships: Whether its within your own ranks or with clients, interpersonal tension are often the source for some of the biggest problems in business.

Distinguish themes: Take a look at what your uncovering and write it down. When you take a deeper look at what you learn, you’ll see a solution to your problem.
