How To Become The Go-To Problem Solver

Good Day All, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Are YOU a problem Solver?

Do YOU see the answer in difficulties , a chance to learn or do you fret, worry and let doubt seep in?

“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” Albert Einstein.

What makes a GOOD PROBLEM SOLVER? Take time right NOW and think about what problems you have going on in your life. Do you ask for help when needed?

Are you able to write out your problems, then go over them point by point?

Who do you see as a great problem solver? What skills do they possess?

They use the power of words to connect with people: They are socially well developed and find ways to connect with people and try to find happy-middle solutions. Does this sound like YOU?

If you could identify creative solutions to those problems that you think are hopeless, how would your life be different?

If you could take your biggest struggles–whatever they may be–and find an option that gets you through them, what would that be worth to you?

One of the biggest problems people have when it comes to problem-solving is not getting detailed enough about the problem–not going deep enough into the whys and hows. The more you know, the more you grow.

People who succeed in business explore ways and options to being the best PROBLEM SOLVERS.

Being a great problem solver is connected to having a growth mindset.

Being a creative problem solver can help you get out of difficult situations. It can help you avoid negative consequences, make you better at your job, and create better opportunities for you.

They don’t create problems for others: Good problems solvers who create fair solutions make a conscious effort not to harm others for a self-interest intention.

They explore their options: They see more than one solution to a problem and find new and productive ways to deal with new problems as they arise. This always been my wife Regina’s attitude. Look at the problem from every side.

Point out every solution, point by point and see what fits best.

They do prevention more than intervention: They are more of a positive thinker ( Janet Legere) so naturally, they are surrounded with more positivity and have more energy to be productive.

I hope this was helpful to at least one reader. Growing to become the best you can be is the ultimate goal. Begin to see yourself as THE GO-TO PROBLEM SOLVER.

Do You Miss The Lessons In Life?

Banding my head against the wall is normal for Michael The Traveling Trucker.

There are days I don’t even know my own name so to speak. People tell me things, sometimes I listen and sometimes not. Can you relate?

We have all missed the bus at some point in our lives. Been late. Been miserable in the process. The RAT RACE at it’s worst.

Being a trucker has given me insight into a number of things. Meeting people and talking to them about their life and how it could change if they are willing.

What is one thing you really, really , really want to change in your life you know needs to change? Is it how many hours you work? Lack of quality time with family and friends? Not having enough money? Need repairs around the home place?

As we start our journey, please take notes. Leave yourself sticky notes. Leave an encouraging message to yourself on your phone.

I know from my own journey in life there comes a point where all you have been doing IS NOT SATISFYING ANY LONGER. You dream of better days ahead. You tell yourself, there has to be a better way.

If you are serious about being an ENTREPRENEUR-FIND A MENTOR. I have two who speak into my life to help me gain from life’s lessons. Always point me to my end goal, even when I don’t know what the end goal is.

Kool thing is they DO. They have been down the road long before I got here.

Lesson 1– Go to my resource page at the top. Look around. See what’s of interest.

Lesson 2– Take 5 minutes right NOW- Write down what you want. This is the groundwork for everything else. This step will guide you from now on.

Lesson 3–Remember I said find a mentor? This should be someone who will guide you and push you out of your COMFORT ZONE. Show them what you have written down. It’s called accountability.

Lesson 4–Find something of interest that will make you want to do this everyday. It must be enjoyable, fun and easy to share.

When you start believing in the little things, believing everyday that they will happen, something wonderful happens. Your heart grows strong, your spirit is sensitive and your mind dreams of glorious days of sunshine and laughter.

When you look back to see all the little things, you notice some really BIG things got accomplished.

I hope you copy this post. Put it on your wall. Keep a copy in your car. Read it EVERY DAY and say-“I CAN DO THIS”.

How To Recognize Your Gifts

You heard me toot my air horn, saw me driving by on the way to my delivery. Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. On a new route, so today’s adventure begins in Wixom, MI.

Mention: https://www.pexels.com/search/gifts/

As I sit here contemplating my gifts, What are they exactly? For me, I’m learning to write, speak with authority, mapping out my goals and dreams into bite size pieces.

I am gifted in song as well as verse. God has given me the ability to rhyme in song and poetry.

Dear READER, Let’s start thinking about your gifting. Are you a people person? Are you an organizer? Are you a take charge type of person? Can you write?

In business, Learning from the leaders-Janet, Rob, Jon, Blain, Eliana, Lisa, Jared, they have taught me to view every aspect of teaching as gifting. Some gifting takes practice because you didn’t know you were good at it.

What would your life look like if you actually realized your goals? May I suggest a gift for you? It’s called The Resolution Success System. Down load it here. I believe this will change your life.

“Determine what you want, then resolve to pay the price to get it.” Do you get a sense of purpose when you accomplish your goal? Doesn’t it make you scream out loud,” YES I DID IT AND IT FELT GREAT”?

Take a step every day to reach your goals and dream. Make it fun and exciting. Make it just out of reach but not a million miles away, this way deep within your spirit, YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH THEM.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. “everything is possible if you’ve got enough nerve.”

Goals ought to be ‘acceptable’ to you. That means that you must not only identify with them but also, feel like they are in line with your value system and that they won’t lead you to transgress your sense of integrity in any way.

Your goal must be realistic. In other words, you have to work with what you have while pushing yourself slightly beyond in order to change your current reality.

Will you CHOOSE TODAY to grab your pen and paper and write out your 30-day goals? Go get your pen and paper NOW, I’LL WAIT.

Glad you made it back. Now think of something you would like to be able to accomplish in the next 30-days. What steps daily does it take to reach it in 30 days? Now Commit to it daily for the next 30 days.

You did it. You accomplished your 1st goal of writing them down. NOW DIDN’T THAT FEEL GREAT AND AWESOME?

How To Visualize Your Dream

Hello Everyone. Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Mention:https://pixabay.com/images/search/truck%20driver/

I had a dream of driving a tractor/trailer for many years. I can see how God walked me through the process.

I had a 28foot house trailer, I pulled with a pickup truck. I learned how to back up. Learning to turn the wheels in the opposite direction of where you want the trailer to go.

Then I worked for a landscape company, pulling big equipment on a 38-foot trailer. Each increase in trailer size got me closer to driving my big rig.

I saw myself behind the wheel of my big rig. I knew I had what it takes. Every tractor/trailer I saw put that burning in my mind and soul.

Then it happened, I got my chance to drive. I knew how to drive a stick shift, but I had to learn to shift 10 gears instead of 5. I have been driving for 27 years now.

This visualizing process took about 10 years to come to completion, I knew it would. This is what has driven me for years to pursue my dreams.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse. ~ Walt Disney

Your life is too precious to be spent pursuing small dreams. Dream big so that you can reach your full potential. Answer this one question: “ What would you do if you took the fear out of the equation?

STOP HERE FOR A MINUTE. Really give yourself time to think about this.

You should make sure that you pursue the right dreams. You should make sure that your dreams are both fulfilling and meaningful.

Now I am being taught how to see my internet business as successful. I’m visualizing 1k per month in my bank account already. I’m seeing what I can do with that thousand dollars. ( Paying off some credit card debt.)

This is a kingdom principle. If you can’t see it, you will NEVER have it.

Can you see your DREAM? Is it a new house? How many bedrooms and bathrooms? What is the square footage? How much land is it sitting on?

Is it a new car? What is the make and model? What color is it? How many doors?

Get inspired by the stories of great people. This next point is crucial: WRITE YOUR DREAMS DOWN. Make a battle plan. Pay the price daily.

In working on your dreams, prepare yourself to meet difficulties. Expect challenges ahead. That way you won’t lose heart when difficulties come. You will be able to keep going.

There might be times when you seem to get stuck. You might see no meaningful progress for a long time. In such a situation, it’s tempting to just give up your dreams.

Don’t do that EVER. “Flat” season is normal. It’s something everyone must go through. Keep dreaming. Keep moving forward. You need to think about what you can improve, of course, but keep the fire burning within you. If you do that, a new season will eventually come where things get bright again.

I believe in YOU, READER. Let me help you to dream BIG. Let me see what you see so I can inspire you to keep your dream alive.

When the time comes to go after your dream, send naysayers to TIME OUT.

DREAMING BIG MAKES THE REWARDS ALL THE SWEETER

HOW TO ACHIEVE GOAL SETTING 101

Hello and WELCOME, Michael The Traveling Trucker here. I believe that goal setting so is important.

Do you ever feel like you’re sleepwalking through life with no real idea of what you want? Perhaps you know exactly what you want to achieve, but have no idea how to get there.

I know for a lot of people, goal setting tends to get put on the back burner. People know what they want, but never write them out.

Goal setting involves planning for the future. Thinking positively about the future bolsters our ability to create goals and consider the actions required to achieve them.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/goals/

It helps you stay focused on what you want to accomplish, see how well you are doing moving toward your goals, then setting new ones once you finish your old ones.

One of my goals is to have a list of 2000 prospects by 5-1-2021. Making goals attainable is what will keep on putting in the daily work.

How big do you want your list? How long is it going to take you? Do you want to work with women or men or both? What age group? What geographical area?

Ready to get started, GREAT. You will need paper and pencil or pen. I’ll wait while you get them NOW. Glad you are back. Now time to write down specific items for your goals.

This is not a marathon, but slow simple steps.

Choose goals that are challenging. Choose and monitor both short-term and long-term goals. Keep goals consistent.

If the goal is too easy to complete, there’s little achievement in it. If you set exclusively easy goals for yourself, you will get bored and fall out of the habit of goal setting. The challenge is what makes results feel worthwhile and self-actualizing, and makes goal setting feel rewarding.

Through the experience of success and the positive emotions that accompany goal setting, confidence, and belief in our own abilities grow. If you can dream it, write it down, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT.

Five Principles of SUCCESSFUL Goal Setting

Commitment-Clarity-Challenge-Complexity-Feedback

Commitment refers to the degree to which an individual is attached to the goal and their determination to reach it, even when faced with obstacles. DO you really want to be successful in business and personal life?

Clarity-When a goal is vague, it has limited motivational value. Set clear, precise, and unambiguous goals that are implicit and can be measured. Have you written down YOUR GOALS?

Challenging goals can improve performance through increased self-satisfaction, and the motivation to find suitable strategies to push our skills to the limit. Are you making your goals just out of reach so you have to stretch to ACHIEVE them?

Complexity-Even the most motivated of people can become disillusioned if the task’s complexity is too great for their skills. Allowing sufficient time to work toward a goal allows opportunities to reassess the goal complexity, whilst reviewing and improving performance. Are you making your goals so hard, that after a short time you give up?

Feedback– Feedback – including internal feedback – helps to determine the degree to which a goal is being met and how you are progressing. Feedback allows us to reflect upon our ability and set new, more attainable, goals.

When we perceive our progress towards a goal as adequate, we feel capable of learning new skills and setting more challenging future goals.

I hope this helps. PLEASE WRITE YOU GOALS DOWN. KEEP THEM IN FRONT OF YOU. LOOK AT THEM EVERYDAY.
