Has something horrible happened that really derailed your momentum? I've got an entire episode about what to do when something horrible happens in business.

And it's Day 2 of the #Tashmas series, which means I have a gift for you!

But first: What is #Tashmas?

I do it for both my birthday (1-12 March) and pre-Christmas (1-12 December) every year! You get a daily podcast episode, with a hot tip or practical strategy as per usual... but you ALSO get a present every day! It could be a freebie, a special offer, a competition... something fun every single day.

Today, let's explore what to do when something horrible happens in your business. It sounds intense, but don't stress; I've got your back with some down-to-earth strategies and resources you’ll love.

Ready? Let's do it!
Worrying about something horrible happening

If you've only been in business for a short amount of time, you may have some fears about what might go wrong as a business owner. Regardless of how long you've been in business, I think we all still have some fears about some of the bad things that might happen to us as business owners. Some of those things may have already happened in the past, so we're afraid of them happening again. But in a lot of cases, those things haven't happened to us yet, so we can catastrophise what might happen, and how it might feel.

I therefore have put together five things that you can do when something horrible happens in your business.

1. Get some perspective

I think when we are deep in our business and when our business is our livelihood, it's also wrapped up in our identity. We can lose perspective about what's important and what is happening. So I think it's really powerful to just gain some perspective about what this means in the grand scheme of things.

Let's say you make a mistake with a client. Whether that means you have to redo some of the work you did for them, they ask for a discount, or a refund, or they don't want to work with you anymore... In 10 years' time, when you look back at this mistake, will you still have anxiety about it? In most cases, the answer would be no. In most cases, you will be grateful for what you can learn from making that mistake. You can learn how to not make it in the future, and you'll move on. Things that feel like they're big and hard and life-altering and horrendous now, will just be like water off a duck's back in five years' time. What feels really hard today won't feel so hard three months from now.
