Key Takeaways

1

Differentiate between an 'event' and a 'crisis' by asking if the situation truly changes the long-term outlook or is just a temporary 'slice' of the pie.

2

Recognize that a perceived crisis often reveals a 'state of crisis within,' signaling a lack of conviction in your strategy or an underlying internal conflict.

3

Avoid 'losing the day' by letting negative news tank your mood, as time and emotional state are a founder's most precious assets.
