A Short Guide To Problem Solving And Effective Thinking

Problem solving is a pretty broad topic of discussion. This could mean anything from figuring out how to pay your bills this month to determining who’s spreading gossip at the workplace. We solve dozens of problems every day, but some of them get a little overwhelming at times. When this happens, we really have to put our abilities to the test and think our way through the situation.

The best way to solve problems is with an ordered, logical, step by step approach. The particulars, the specifics of each step are as infinitely varied as the possible problems you might be facing, but in a broad sense, they always come down to three acts…

Isolate the Problem

You can’t fight what you can’t see, as they say, so before you take any steps to actually solve a problem, you need to figure out what, exactly, it is that you’re up against. You need to figure out exactly what it is that’s bothering you, exactly what it is that’s standing between yourself and your goals. Identify it and isolate it. For example, if your car is acting up, this could mean doing a diagnostic on your engine to figure out what part is preventing the vehicle from running at its best. If you’re playing Chess, this could mean figuring out which of your opponent’s pieces is in the best position to thwart your victory. Again, it could mean literally anything, but by looking at all of the factors and thinking it through, you should always be able to figure out exactly what the real problem is.

Identify the Root Cause

You can treat the symptoms of a problem, but you should really get to the bottom of it. So if you have trouble making rent, the problem might be that you’re always coming up a hundred bucks short. This can be solved one month by selling some old jewelry or a guitar you don’t play anymore, but the source of the problem is that you’re not making enough money living check to check. The source is what you want to pinpoint and combat, not just the symptoms of the problem themselves. So if your car keeps breaking down, maybe the source isn’t the part that keeps needing to be replaced, it could be that you’re not getting oil changes regularly enough, or it could even mean that your axle is off and it’s doing no favors to the rest of your car. You need to find the source of the problem and get it at the roots.

Use a PRACTICAL Solution

Whatever your problem might be, whether it affects you mentally or psychologically or emotionally, the root is always practical, and so is the solution. You find the problem by thinking it out, you solve the problem by taking some real, practical steps to solving it. So using the example of impotence, many men go running for the little blue pill, but if your source is stress or depression, then you need to solve that, not the impotence itself. Solve the root cause. With an unrewarding sex life, this could mean just changing your diet, or it could mean talking to a therapist, or if you’re stressed at work, it could mean a vacation or asking for fewer responsibilities. The solution is always to take practical steps to pull the source problem out by the roots.

Time Management is Your Friend!

Posted by Glyna Humm | Posted in Success | Posted on 04-14-2010

Tired of waking up at the crack of dawn, running around trying to get ready and then sitting in traffic jams everyday no matter what time you leave? So was I until I found the awesome world of owning a home business. Now I make that long trek to my comfy desk chair about 8:00, in my sweats and not having a care in the world about making it to work on time. These are just some of the perks of owning your own home business.

Ok, enough of the pleasantries. As wonderful as working at home is, you must possess some great skills to find success at it. I am talking about time management and organization. If you are not careful, the comfort and distractions of having a home business can also be the doom of the very same thing. You have to find ways to ignore the laundry, cleaning and cooking that seems to be calling you throughout the day and make sure you stay on the task at hand. To help you accomplish just that, I have come up with a few tips that might make your life easier.

1: Be realistic with yourself. – You might want to start with asking yourself a few tough questions. Can I do this? Do I have what it takes to stay focused and ignore all the household distractions? Can I work to meet the deadlines while still retaining my freedom that I worked so hard to achieve? Freedom is great but it doesn’t pay the bills and if you don’t have the focus you need, this could be a disaster waiting to happen. Before you give a home based business a try, ask yourself the tough questions and try your best to answer them realistically.

2: Treat it like a job. – This may sound simple, but it can slip your mind easily if you can’t find the concentration you need. This is definitely a real job and is what you are counting on to pay your bills. Clock in and out just like you would a traditional business. Schedule your week and put it on a calendar you can follow daily. Schedule breaks and lunch like you normally would if you worked for someone else. Try not to detract form your schedule if you wan to find real success.

3: Is accountability your strong suit? – If it is not and you do get distracted easily, you may want to appoint an accountability partner. A spouse fits that description well, because they are looking out for what is best for you and the family as a whole. Check in with each other a couple of times a day to get a status report and use it as a way to gauge your activity.

4: Separate church and state. To manage your time working at home efficiently, you have to decide what you spend your hours on. Sometimes it is hard to explain to your family the difference between work time and family time. Once the workday is over, focus entirely on your family, and don’t let business intrude on your time with them.

5: How organized are you? – This is another very important question you need to address. De-clutter your home business surroundings. Concentrate on putting things away when you are finished with them, both on your computer and in your filing cabinet. Label everything in folders both online and offline. Being organized can lead to your success more quickly.

I hope these tips will help you with managing your time when it comes to your home based business. Having the right frame of mind and organization can be the real difference in your success.

Clickbank Stealth Review

Posted by Allen Davis | Posted in Success | Posted on 02-05-2010

It’s not often that I am asked to review products online, usually I just get offers to promote the “next big thing”, but today this post is very unique.

I have been asked by Ray Johnson to review his brand new course, entitled “Clickbank Stealth”, so I’ll try to give you my most open and honest opinions below.

Clickbank Stealth by is a complete step-by-step 100+ page ebook, and 14 VIDEO training course that teaches you the previously unseen secrets of the Clickbank guru’s to create TOP TEN Clickbank websites each and every time…

==>> http://short9.com/cbstealth

Basically, the course is web based and is made up of 14 training modules plus a KILLER eBook which walks
you through the entire system and leads you to each video so you are ALWAYS in TOTAL control and have
100% confidence at every single step.

You simply CAN’T get the system wrong!

Soon afterwards, Ray, follows up what he teaches you with step by step screen capture videos so you
can learn how to actually APPLY what you’ve learned from the eBook.

Inside Clickbank Stealth you’ll learn:

—> Why the domain name you choose has a DRAMATIC effect on your profits…

—> Why poor copy will KILL your website, and how to write Clickbank CASH-COW copy that will FORCE top marketers to promote you…

—> Why NOT just any old graphics for your product/site will do, and why you may as well QUIT before you’ve begun if you FAIL to use this method…

—> The #1 secret of product creation that is CRITICAL for your long term success online that COULD bank you a fortune…

—> Why download pages ARE CRITICAL to your success online (yes, DOWNLOAD PAGES!)

—> How to get a TON of JV partners/affiliates to promote your site, even if you have NO contacts, NO list and all in just minutes!

—> How to craft the perfect page to maximise the number of affiliates who ACTUALLY promote your site come launch day

—> How to build a LASER targeted list of affiliates that stay with you FOR LIFE and are HAPPY to promote every single site you ever create!

—> How to create the perfect affiliate promo tools page that leaves your partners DESPERATE to mail their subscribers HARD…

—> How to test, without the boredom, that could QUADRUPLE your earnings within minutes…

—> The one secret technique to create MAXIMUM buzz for your product through the launch week, and get REPEAT MAILINGS (guaranteed) from EVERY JV partner…

—> PLUS A TON MORE!

Once you’ve grasped the basics in the eBook, the video series moves on to help you IMPLEMENT all the processes step by step, and is very detailed! There’s way too much to mention here.

I’m so glad this wasn’t some out dated course where the links don’t even work anymore. This is really cutting edge stuff, and Ray makes it possible FOR ANYONE to bag a Clickbank top #10 spot with ZERO experience…

But aside from all the fresh stuff, I think my favorite part is just KNOWING that I’ll succeed online now.

All I have to do is follow Ray’s easy advice.

In all honesty, “Clickbank Stealth” gets a thumbs up from me and I hope it’s still available when you read this so you can run over and snatch up a copy for yourself, you’d seriously be mad to miss it.
