When I started in sales, my mentor told me my job was to turn over rocks to discover what was underneath each rock. Most of the time, there was nothing. Infrequently, a rock would hide a treasure.
I’ve found this advice incredibly helpful. It takes the pressure off of finding an answer or a remedy. It shifts the focus onto the discovery process instead.
Eventually, if I turn over enough rocks something new will surface, answers will present themselves, and next steps become clear.
Keep turning over more rocks.
You will be surprised what you find.
