The missing link to your business successThe art of making money, and make no mistake about it, it is an art, is synonymous with problem solving. Consider this scenario:
Bob is presented with a great opportunity. He hears
testimonials of others already making money in business. He likes products and believes company is trustworthy and has an excellent potential for growth. Before long Bob starts telling himself, “I can do this.” He is excited. He joins. But this is not a “he lives happily ever after story.”
Actually moment Bob signed on dotted line and joined business he put himself in a position to solve some problems. As story continues, Bob is still excited about prospects of his new business opportunity. There he goes… attempting to sell company’s product. He gets rejection after rejection. He tries a different approach. Still no success. The excitement is starting to wind down. He is no longer sure if he made right decision. In fact, he starts second guessing himself more than ever. Doubt creeps in. The months pass and still no progress. Finally, Bob realizes this thing isn’t going to work. He quits and tries to forget he ever spent his time and money trying such a ridicules idea.

Now guess what, anywhere Bob goes he will be faced with dilemma of having to solve problems. In fact, even if Bob gave up his dream to be his own boss and started working for someone else, he still has to solve problems. Every job, in every company in world is geared toward solving a problem. The major difference is that while working for someone else person may get a heads up on a few solutions for his job. The other side of coin is that no matter how many problems Bob solves for his job, most likely his pay will not reflect his problem solving skills.
