The strategy for disaggregating problems is the same for creating success. 
that Big Problems are nothing more than a bunch of little problems that have joined forces to knock you off track. Solving them is simply a matter of identifying them and attacking them individually. Huge success is nothing more than a bunch of little victories assembled together with a cumulative effect. Lumped together they are quite impressive, but by themselves they leave much to be desired.
The worst professional times in my life occurred when I was trying hard to hit a big home run. I had let myself go professionally for a while, and I was in need of a HUGE turnaround. This put me in a swing for the fences mindset because I really needed a big win. Instead of finding a job and making money, I was trying to put a deal together that would solve my professional problem in an instant. I had neglected making money for a long period of time because I was working on a business deal that would solve my problems once funded. Really dumb way to operate because every day that goes by creates a larger deficit and larger problems. Deficit nearly rhymes with desperate. And there is a reason for this. There is a parallel relationship between the two when it comes to most things financial. When your deficit increases, so does your desperation. If you have experienced this for very long, you know how bad it sucks.
When you are in this spot, the hardest part is finally coming to grips with the fact that it took awhile to get here, and WORSE, it will take awhile to get away from here. Being desperate also causes decision making clarity to go way down. There is an inverse relationship with those two. You can see why. So if you are waiting on a big deal to close and it is impacting your finances, I hope for your sake it works out for you. But I will say based on my experience you better start solving the problem of what if it NEVER works out.
