03

Pick one setback.

Answer in writing.

Write one rule.

The callback, the lost customer, the missed deadline. Start with one that still stings.

Facts only. No blame, no excuses. If it's not on paper, it's still just a feeling.

IF this happens, THEN we do this. Put a review date on the calendar so it doesn't fade.

People make mistakes. Systems let them through.

WANT THE WHOLE SYSTEM?

The audit is the first five minutes.

These five questions are a fast version of the BUILD Protocol. Failing to Fail gives you all five steps, sixteen chapters, and an action step in every one, so every setback becomes a system.
