Recommendation from the Development Guide
Look Around for Alternatives
Ask yourself questions that will force you to re-think your strategy: Have I overlooked important data? What more do I need to know? Are there alternative strategies that might lessen the resistance, or circumvent the obstacle altogether? What would someone with a different style do faced with this problem? Study industries, organizations, and individuals that beat the competition by overcoming obstacles—and those who did not — to learn from them. Even if you cannot eliminate an obstacle, you may be able to get around it less painfully.
