The best way to keep these flames from permanently harming your business is to "leave a fire extinguisher behind" after putting out each fire. Do so and you'll turn every fire into an opportunity to improve.
I learned this lesson from Dave Lindsey, a successful entrepreneur and founder of Defender Direct in Indianapolis. When you fight a "business fire," your job is much more than to solve the problem. It is to leave behind processes—or as Lindsey put it, to "leave behind fire extinguishers"—to prevent the problem from happening again, or to make it easier to fix the problem if it does occur.
