In today's episode, we take on the best ways to solve problems.  Being a great problem solver is at the heart of being a successful entrepreneur.  Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Richard Branson all consider themselves to be great problem solvers.  Business owners, entrepreneurs, managers and executives face and deal with problems daily.

​Eliminating problems from occurring is not possible but solving them should be the goal.  Steve Smith and Will Robertson tackle thi sone aggressively and insightfully.

1:15   How does the listener benefit?
If you tend to avoid solving problems or lack the confidence to face problems head on, you will struggle to grow your organization.  Why, because unresolved problems have a way of popping up when least expected to torpedo your best ideas and plans.
 
2:00   Discussion points: 
  1. Isolated vs reoccurring problems
  2. How do you approach problem solving
  3. Who else should be able to solve problems in your business
 
10:00 Tips for improving in this area or overcoming this problem:
  1. Clearly identify and understand the problem
  2. Take the emotion out of the process for more objective evaluation and decision making.
  3. Separate facts from opinions and finger pointing
  4. Involve others in the discussion to generate more solutions and hold people accountable for taking action
 
17:00 Final Take-aways:  Being a great problems solver takes practice and a consistent approach that leads to actionable solutions.  You won't bat 1000 but you will learn along the way how to improve your ability to make great decisions.  Then you can teach others to do the same onyour behalf.
