Fall in love with solving business problems

One day, a podcast guest offhandedly mentioned that he enjoyed solving business problems. Part of the reason why he structured his company the way he did was that he liked figuring stuff out.

I used to hate business problems. I wanted the money. The successful business. The easy life.

What a mindset shift for me.

Later, I saw Kriss Berg tweet something similar:

Here’s the tweet:

Mindset shift that makes millions:

Problems aren't a part of your business, problems are your business.

Your clients pay you to solve theirs, and you have to solve your own so that you can do that.

You don't HAVE to solve them, you GET to solve them.

It's your job. The people that solve them the best get rich.

The uber successful people I know love to tackle the BIG problems, they live for it.

The bigger the problem the bigger the opportunity to get better.

Next time a big one pops, don't get depressed. This is what you are paid to do, this is WHY YOU HAVE A BUSINESS.

So do it.

(oh, and offload those little ones - you have big problems to tackle!)

Capisce?

You don’t get to pick whether or not your business has problems. You just get to pick the kind of problems.

If you hate face-to-face sales, you probably shouldn’t sell cars (h/t to BD). If you hate computers you probably shouldn’t sell websites.

You get to pick the problems you solve.
