  • What steps can you take to repair the damage, after you took action.
  • What are the outcomes/benefits of the most probable scenarios?

  • What are you waiting for?

Most things are temporary and if something bad happens it will, probably, be temporary. So if some action has a good outcome for you do it, if the consequences aren't the biggest.
