"Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity." ~Joseph Sugarman
This is so true...the problem is that we focus so much on the problems that we can't see the opportunity. A long time ago, one of my first mentors told me, "don't come to me with a problem unless you also have a solution." That's always stayed with me. Do you think like that? What would happen to you if you did?
Why do people do business with you? Because you solve a problem for them, that's why. We are all looking for our problems to be solved for us. Those who can solve the problems are rewarded, not those who can't or only see the problem.
Action:
Stop focusing on the problem and start focusing on solutions! Analyze the problem but then search for opportunities. Don't stay focused on the problem, only the opportunities.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Encouragement
"There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through the encouragement of someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or how successful a person may be, each hungers for applause."~George M. Adams
Think about the 'high spots' in your life and the person who encouraged you to get there. Have you thanked them? Have you let them know the impact that they had in your life? Do you do this on a regular basis or just at certain times...or not at all?
A smile may only be a smile to you, but it may mean the world to someone else. Are you liberal with your smiles, or are you stingy with them...
Do you think about the effect that you have on others?
Tell someone the effect that they have had on your life. It might impact their life even more than they affected your life.
We are all looking for that applause, that encouragement, that recognition. Let them know.
