Steer into the Skid
When learning how to drive, one of the most important lessons is what to do when you begin to lose control of the vehicle. When you hit a patch of ice or a slick spot in the road, you need to “turn into the skid. This seems like terrible advice when you first hear it.

You have to train your mind and prepare in advance so you can remain in control of your vehicle. This lesson holds true for business as well.
