If you’ve reached the end of your rope, STOP. Stand back for a moment to drink in the big picture. Then take a large sheet of paper and brainstorm. Write down everything that you feel led to this dire moment.

Keep writing. Don’t analyze. It’s time for a massive data dump.

Do this for 5 minutes.

Then stop. Step back and look at the sheet. You’ll see a pattern. (aha! Do I hear a “Voila”?)

Now you know what you might want to do better. What to avoid.

What new thing to try.

Now fold that up and ask yourself… what else can I do that’s different from what Im doing now?

Do the same data dump.

Then check for patterns.

You’ll surprise yourself!
