Everything we've been taught about problem-solving is wrong..

Over the past few years I've been experimenting with a new technique for solving problems.... I've taken my attention away from the problem instead of focusing on it. I've forced myself to think about other things that feel good easily to me. I've disciplined myself to focus on only the things that make me feel good. This strategy has brought me more success in the last 2 years than my entire life previous to that.

My (and probably your) old way of thinking sometimes tells me that this cannot be right. The voice is my head is exclaiming "are you kidding? You think it will just go away if you ignore it? What kind of mumbo jumbo is this? You have a masters degree in business! You're a problem solver! Look at this problem!"

But the evidence I've been collecting over the past few years tells me that this new way of focusing (taught to me by my incredibly successful and wise mentors) WORKS. Not only that, but it's a much happier way to go about running a business. You will see an increase in success, happiness, and joy in every person involved in your business when you adopt this. And you know by now, if you've been following my content at all, that more joy = more profit. The happier you get, the more successful you get. This is an aboslute truth you can count on. You, your clients, staff, partners and anyone else involved will absolutely thrive as you do this.

I know that in order to let this in, you will have to try it for yourself, and you will not be disappointed, I promise you.

For now, one small example that may help you relate to how well this works is this: you know when you're trying really hard to think of an actor's name, but you just can't seem to grab it from your brain? Then, you let it go, and move onto other things and it just magically pops into your head? That's a small example of releasing the negative energy you're putting into solving a problem, and having the answer just "come to you."

Applying this to problems in our business works JUST like that. If you can constantly redirect your attention and your energy to what IS working, and the goals you DO want to achieve, your problems will "magically" disappear. Taking your attention away from your problems will not make them worse; by focusing on the positive drivers instead, you will have the problems literally disappear.
