What is your first priority when you are really lost?

Ok, you took my advice from yesterday. You are exploring. Not lost. But what if – despite that mindset shift – you are REALLY LOST??? 😱

Here is a valuable lesson from Survival specialist Jessie Krebs on Masterclass 👩‍🏫, which applies to a walk in a forest, but also to life and business:

🔥 Should you build a fire?

💧 Find water?

🏚️ Build a shelter?

🐅 Protect yourself against wild animals?

🚷 Walk around to find the path?

N O O O O O O O O !!!!

THIS IS your NUMBER ONE PRIORITY if you are totally lost:

🚨!!!!!! S I G N A L I N G !!!!!!!🚨

Scream. Make noise. Call the emergency number. Wave to helicopters.

You are in a situation that you want to get out of. If you don’t know what to do or where to go: LET OTHER PEOPLE KNOW !

Humans are social animals, so there is always someone willing to help!

🛟 Looking for another job? 🛟 Stuck with your startup? 🛟 Don’t get your business in the right direction?

Don’t think you should ‘solve it yourself’.

🗣️ Get the word out.

💬 Talk to people.

🤳 Make a call.

🆘 Ask for help.

Most people will help you take your next step! I would.

Do you have a good version of signalling when you got stuck in life or business?

NB. You should see the masterclass. Jessie Krebs her enthusiasm is CONTAGIOUS. Thanks to her, I have a 20 meter long cord in my bag ALWAYS – yes, even when I go to the office.

This post is part of my 1 year writing experiment. The topic of this week is change & purpose.
