Is Your Business Spinning Out of Control?

We use a lot of flying analogies in this blog for obvious reasons. This week, though, we’re getting grounded.

Business has been chaotic lately for a lot of our clients and collaborators. We keep finding ourselves using an old lesson from driver’s education class about hydroplaning to share perspective on how to regain control when it feels like things are spinning out. 

Ease off the gas

You’re never going to accelerate your way out of business chaos. When things get hectic, slow down.

Do not brake

Slowing down is not the same as hitting the brakes. Trying to “stop” the spin-out is just as futile as trying to accelerate out of it.

Steer gently

Don’t make any sudden turns or pivots while things are spinning out. Reactive decision-making will only make things worse.

Wait to regain traction

This is the scariest part–the waiting. It will feel like an eternity in the moment. But if you follow the three steps above, you’ll quickly find traction again to continue down the road on your business journey.
