The Awakened Man's Guide to Finding Solutions: Getting Crystal Clear on Your Problems

As an entrepreneur or business owner, you may have heard that having a rock-solid mindset is the key to success. While a positive attitude can certainly help, it won't solve all of life's problems. Even the most positive and motivated individuals will still encounter challenges and setbacks.

So, what can you do when you're faced with problems in business and in life? The first step is to get crystal clear on what the actual problem is. It's easy to get caught up in surface-level issues and symptoms, but until you dig deeper and identify the root cause of your problem, you won't be able to come up with an effective solution.

Let's take the example of financial struggles. If you find that you never have enough money, you need to ask yourself: What's really going on? Are you not earning enough? Are you spending frivolously on things that you don’t need? Are you incurring more expenses than your paychecks can handle?

The key to finding solutions is to go five levels deep on each problem. Don't stop at the surface-level symptoms. Keep digging until you find the root cause of the problem. Only then can you come up with an empowering and effective solution.

As an Awakened Man, it's essential to take ownership of your problems and be proactive in finding solutions. Don't wait for someone else to come along and fix things for you. Instead, take a moment to write down the five biggest problems you're currently facing. Then, go five levels deep on each of those problems. Don't quit writing until you figure out exactly what's going on and how you can fix it.

By taking this approach, you'll develop a deeper understanding of your challenges and be better equipped to find solutions that truly work. And as you work through your problems with clarity and purpose, you'll become a more effective and empowered business owner, father, and husband.
