You know the feeling. You are already overwhelmed with your to-do list. And then a huge problem falls into your lap and forces you to stop everything you’re doing and give it all your attention.
But there’s an even bigger problem. You know it needs to be fixed, and you have no idea where to start – even if you had the time.
Everyone has had this happen to them. It’s frustrating when you don’t know what to do and there’s a time crunch.
But there is hope! We have a proven method that works. If used properly, you won’t be paralyzed by problems ever again. The method we use gives you tools and techniques that work – no more of that “just think outside the box” advice.
I’m going to give you a sneak peek into the main concepts of how we teach people to overcome problem solving. I will introduce you to the primary steps that you need to follow to tackle major issues:
1. Frame your problem. I mean it. This sucker needs a name so you can stare it right in the face and tell it who’s boss. You need to know exactly what the problem is that you are facing or you won’t be able to address it in it’s entirety. File it down to it’s simplest form.
Example: Sales dropped from 100 to 80 per month. Customer service complaints went up 25%.
However, this is the simplified, chopped up, mushy baby food version of problem solving. There is a lot more real meat to it that is crucial to understand. But, once you fully grasp it, there are endless uses and it can be applied to many different areas.
