If you think ahead and plan, many nightmare panic and chaos situations can be overcome. By ensuring that you have a great group of people around you, there will be more to fall back on when the going gets tough - because that, as they say, when the tough really do get going. Big challenges can be very difficult to face - and they can be fascinating and exhilarating. So here's some thoughts on how to make the best of these times, by getting ready in advance and making it work.
Being aware of the help you need well in advance, will make a big difference for you - you can focus on the aspects of business you bring value to and, while we're on the subject of value, have fun and get a life for yourself as well.
