When something suddenly happens to throw your plans out of whack, here’s what to do…

Stuff happens to throw you off track all the time… weekly… daily… even hourly!

We all get off track it’s a fact of life, but you don’t have to get sabotaged forever.

Most people get off track and never get back on track.

So, if you want to know how to get back on track in any area of life, here are some secrets for you:

Secret #1 — What Is the Immediate “stop The Bleeding” action needed right now?

The first thing to do is to figure out how to stop getting MORE off track.

STOP doing whatever is taking you off course and see if you can get back on track quickly. Sometimes just recognizing you’re off track, taking a 10-minute break, and getting back to it is enough.

Other times it takes some real effort to stop whatever it is… but stop it you must!

Get the situation back under control or at lease back to a “neutral” position so you’re not doing additional damage.

Secret #2 — What Happened?

Next, take a clinical view of what happened.

What circumstances arose to create the situation that got you off track in the first place.

Are they a one-off, or do you need to do some serious rethinking of your team, circumstances, attitude, or actions?

Secret #3 — Be Careful About Asking WHY Questions

Try to avoid asking WHY something happened at the beginning of this process.

Once you have all the facts and you’ve stopped the negative effects of being off track, then ask why… but not before.

Why questions can put you into an endless loop of non-productive blame or investigation. Avoid this at all costs and let cooler heads prevail.

Secret #4 — What is the long-term fix to keep this from happening again?

In the end, what’s most important is keeping this situation from arising again in the first place.

What changes need to get made to keep you on track with anything from fitness to finances to business?

Bottom Line: Make sure you react correctly the next time you realize you’re off track so you can avoid letting a temporary roadblock turn into a long term calamity.

Are you off track right now? Then use what you’ve just learned to get back on track immediately!
