often feel that my main job is problem solving. Many people
Iperform well in trouble-free situations, but when problems
arise, it’s a different story. They can’t solve problems, which I
think is the key to running a successful business.
All businesses have problems. If you think that your business
has no problems, then you’re blind, pretending, or in denial.
Maybe you don’t operate your own business yet, but problems
come with the territory. Expect problems to arise and never be
surprised by them.
No matter how carefully you plan, how well you anticipate,
or how hard you work, problems will occur. Events will take place
and situations will arise that are simply beyond your control. And
they happen suddenly, without warning. That’s reality; that’s how
it works.
