"It isn't that they cannot find the solution. It is that they cannot see the problem” – The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K Chesterton
You cannot fix a problem you don’t know you have. I believe that proper problem identification is one of the most valuable skills a person can have.
My role mostly revolves around asking people the right question. Yes, I sometimes give direct advice and action points. But, normally, business owners know their own business. They know how to fix a problem. They just don’t know which problems exist, or they don’t know which problems to fix first.
My job is to help business owners to see their problem and to focus on fixing one problem at a time. The right problem at the right time.
Using the inverse - re-framing a question to ask the opposite - is one tool that helps entrepreneurs figure out what their problem actually is and what options exist to solve it.
If you’re feeling stuck, fighting fires or drowning in problems without knowing which thing to focus on, then reach out to me. I will help you.
Together, we will discuss your situation and identify which problem is most important to solve right now and how to solve it. We will create an action plan together and I will help you get the right things done. More importantly, you will be able to breathe easy again knowing you have clarity and have things back under control again.
