In my usage (and my colleagues agree), "let's face it" is an invitation to face reality and start from there. "Let's face it" urges the audience to stop imagining or avoiding things and realize what exactly you have to deal with. "Let's face it" can be used to initiate a positive attitude towards problem solving, but the main connotation of this phrase is to become realistic. By the way, I apologize for typing in English.
