Concede Immediately

I think the best strategy that I have is to concede immediately.

con·cede

kənˈsēd/

1. 1.

   admit that something is true or valid after first denying or resisting it.

   synonyms:

   admit, acknowledge, accept, allow, grant, recognize, own, confess; agree "I had to concede that I'd overreacted"

2. 2.

   surrender or yield (something that one possesses).

   
   

   "to concede all the territory he'd won"

   
   

   synonyms:

   surrender, yield, give up, relinquish, cede, hand over "he conceded the Auvergne to the king"

Admit and then let go.  Interesting;  The two primary meanings of this word are the essence of steps one and three.
