What problem are you solving today? Even more importantly, how will the world be affected by the solving of the problem? If you’re not solving a problem, you’re probably part of the problem. This is starting to get wordy..I think you get the point.
I know of many sales gurus who suggest finding someone’s problem and you’ll make the sale. But why bother if you don’t really care? If you solve the problem to further your own plans, then it seems rather shallow. You may argue that solving the problem is enough. I would say that your motivations will reveal the root of your desires.
My mentor and friend Rick Williams told me once that my greatest heartbreak will be the source of my greatest service to mankind. I agree, and would say this is the thing you’re willing place all of your life energy toward.
In the end, problems must be solved by ideas that have integrity…as well as the people who generate them.
I welcome your comments.
