Lemonology® Tour Scene 4: Overcoming the Impossible

Solving problems isn’t just about survival; it’s an opportunity to create something unique. When something really frustrating happens, you must decide to do one of the following:

1. Quit altogether.
2. Do nothing and ignore the problem.
3. Resolve the problem and move on.
4. Innovate and find a remarkable solution that will make your company awesome!

The secret skill of being able to look at a bad situation and see a hidden opportunity is perhaps one of the most powerful traits an entrepreneur can develop. It’s a mindset game though. You’re often battling against your own emotions such as frustration, fear, bitterness, anger, and disappointment. The trick is to mourn your loss for a brief season and then roll up your sleeves and start thinking about how you can turn that bad situation into something amazing!

As an entrepreneur, you often don’t know if you are going down the right path because you are the one making the path. Reassurance from someone with legitimate experience can be quite meaningful, indeed.

Additionally, you must be imaginative and courageous to see challenges as chances for innovation. Times of stress, when you are experiencing heightened emotions, are often the worst times to make important decisions.

For these reasons, you must rely on your Lemonade Maker® Inner Circle members for guidance and clarity. The bonds you build in your Inner Circle are invaluable and essential if you want to survive as an entrepreneur.
