PANIC! Have you hit the panic button in the past few months? If you have, you are not alone. There is a fine line between hitting the panic button and making tough business decisions. Panic is defined as an extreme state of fear…and there is a lot of fear mongering these days-some real and some false. In many cases panic can lead to unreasonable and irrational decisions that have long term consequences. Perhaps Dale Carnegie had the best advice in “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living???. When faced with difficult times or situations, Mr. Carnegie advises, 1) Ask what is the worst that can happen, 2) Prepare to accept it, 3) Improve upon the worst. There is something about following this simple formula that can be bring focus to solving a problem and lead to logical decisions that improve the stability of an organization or your personal life. So this next month when you are tempted to panic, take a deep breath, remember the formula and solve your way to success.

Have a great month!
