Drop The Blame

Blaming people for their problems gets in the way of helping them.

Drop the blame. Pick up the possibilities.

Own This Moment

We own this moment and not much else.

That problem? Temporary.
That solution? Transitional.
That career? Foundational.

We own this moment and not much else.

I believe in making the most of it.

How about you?

Keep Going

Centered problem solvers find the types of problems that they are best at solving and solve them.

They don't stop there. They build momentum there and keep going.

Keep Looking

Whatever missing pieces that you need in order to solve a problem -- are out there if you know how to look.

If you don't see the answer yet, keep looking.

Define Carefully

If the solution you want is a magic wand then you haven't yet clearly defined your problem.

-- Doug Smith

P.S. There are no magic wands...

Gut Check

Is your problem solving goal important enough to find the help you need to achieve it?

-- Doug Smith


Believe

You can't solve a problem until you believe that you can solve it.

No Miracles Necessary

When we take charge of our own problems we can stop waiting for miracles.
