Seek to Solve Problems

Successful individuals love to seek out problems because they know that almost every problem is universal in some way or another. Some industries actually create problems so that they can “solve” them by way of selling their products to you. (Think of all the things you’ve purchased over the years because you “needed” them. Did you really? Or were you convinced that they would solve some problem you may or may not have had?) Flu shots are a great example. Many people think they are necessary, but medical opinion is divided on this matter. Problems for the successful are like a meal to the hungry. Give me a problem-any problem-and when I solve it, I will be rewarded, and I may become a hero. The bigger the problems-and the more people who benefit from the solution-the more powerful your success will be. You get yourself on the successful list by seeking problems to solve-for your company, employees, customers, the government-whatever they may be and wherever they may exist. The world is filled with people who have-and who unfortunately, cause-problems. One of the fastest and best ways to separate yourself from the masses is to establish yourself as someone who makes situations better, not worse.

Focus on Opportunity

Successful people see all situations-even problems and complaints-as opportunities. Where others see difficulty, successful individuals know that problems solved equal new products, services, customers-and probably financial success. Remember: Success is overcoming a challenge. Therefore, you can’t succeed without some kind of difficulty. It doesn’t really matter what the challenge is; as long as you handle it adequately, you’ll be rewarded. And the bigger the problem is, the bigger the opportunity as well. When a problem exists for the entire market and all the people in it, it becomes an equalizer. The only person who stands out is the opportunity-focused individual who see those problems as openings for success. These people are able to use the issue at hand to separate themselves and dominate the marketplace. There are countless situations that most people tend to see as setbacks and nothing else: recessions, unemployment, housing predicaments, conflict, customer complaints, and company shutdowns, to name a few. If you can learn to see these as prospects instead of problems, you’ll continually come out on top.

Believe that “I Will Figure It Out”

This outlook goes hand in hand with the “can do” attitude. Again, it refers to the individual who is always looking to be responsible and solve a problem. Even if you’re not sure how to do something, the best answer is “I will figure it out”-not “I don’t know.” No one values a person who not only doesn’t have the information but doesn’t want to know the information. This response does nothing for your credibility or competence. I don’t agree with the claim that you should tell people if you don’t know something. How does this help the situation? Do you really want to brag about your inability or think that the marketplace-or your customers-value honesty so much that they want you to admit they are wasting their time with you? You can admit that you’re unfamiliar with something-as long as you immediately follow that admission up with the promise that you will figure it out or find someone who will. Throwing up your hands at a task will not move things forward. Communicate to yourself and others that you’re are willing to do what is necessary to figure it out! An alternative response to “I don’t know” is “Great question. Let me check into that and figure it out.” You are still being honest, but you’re inciting a solution instead of implying ineptitude.
