Jim Rohn observed, “To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask? “

Problems are common to everyone but where the rubber meets the road is how you respond to the problems. Considering the quote above there are three questions to ask yourself in providing solution to problems.

First, What could I do?

This is a legitimate question what could I do differently that could alter the situation at hand. For instance you could a have a problem with your colleague at work, before seeking who to point the blame finger to you should ask yourself what could I do to solve this problem that I am having with my colleague. Now, because you have asked an empowering question your mind provide you with answers that will ultimately solve the problems. You should always endeavour to ask this question in crisis.

Second, What could I read?

Good books will spur you into action. You could discover one or two things that can provide you with the solutions to the problems. Jim Rohn is quoted as saying: “the book you did not read cannot help you.” It is very important that you read books related to subject matters of interest to you. Read books to give you new ideas and skills. Charlie Tremendous Jones observed, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” Read auto/biographies of successful people.

Third, Who could I ask?

This is pivotal to your personal and professional success. It is important to understand the power of leverage as well as the fact that some may have gone through your similar struggles. Asking the right questions to these individuals will enable you glean from their experiences and enjoy the solutions they can provide. This will help you find solutions to the problem in most cases. Hence cultivating personal and professional relationships is invaluable.

In one of my recent post on ‘how to overcome success limitations’ I indicated that belonging to a mastermind group is priceless in helping to provide solutions. It is also important to reiterate that soliciting the assistance of a mentor in troubling times can provide immense benefits.

Allow these questions to form the bases of seeking ways to provide lasting solutions to the problems you might encounter on your success journey. Now it’s your turn to provide us with three keys for effective problem solving. Thanks in advance.
