Shortly after I became an insurance agent, I was involved in an auto accident.  I was sure that the insurance company of the offending party would take care of me properly.  Without going into all of the gory details, I'll just say that it was surprising to me when I found out I had signed away all my rights to future treatments.  After meeting Scott through BNI I found out about  "The Rules of the Game" and could see how I had been snookered.  I will tell you: the insurance companies are not your friend (I'm not saying they are the evil empire, just saying its a business), so its nice to have a Professional Problem Solver in your corner.

Whenever one of my clients is involved in a serious accident, I don't hesitate to refer them to Scott.

Ten Step to Solving any Problem

Plan first then take action

By: J Scott Barratt
we have discovered that usually 80% of what holds us back lies within ourselves - and only 20% in the outside world. So if you have not achieved what you desire, the best place to begin to look for the source of the resistance is within yourself.

Plus since it is difficult to create change in the outside world, it's far more effective to focus on you anyway. You are far more likely to get the results you want!

Superior achievers tend to ask one question when they're not moving ahead: "What is it inside me, or that I am doing or thinking, that is holding me back?"

Step 7.Get Ruthless.
There's a powerful saying that's appropriate here:

Have the courage to change those things you can;

Have the courage accept those things you cannot change;

And the wisdom to know the difference

So sharpen your tools and dig into your primary internal source of resistance. Demand answers from yourself. You NEED to know *how* you are placing limitations on your desired achievement, and look it right in the eye.

Step 8.Turn on the Lights.
The more often you repeat this process, the better you'll get at it. This process switches on your mental headlight, and you'll begin to spot internal resistance before takes hold of your life.

Step 9.Constantly Examine your Goal.
Now that you have your mental headlight on, take a closer look at your goal. Make sure you've set a clearly defined goal that you have a burning and passionate desire to achieve.

Combining your goal with intense desire and excitement puts you into the upper level
of achievers. The more excited and enthusiastic you are about your goal, the more rapidly your mind will go to work to bring the goal into your life.

 

Continue to ask focused questions to generate more ideas about how to achieve your goal. The more intense your questions and answers, the more ideas you will generate!
And once you have sunk your teeth into your key internal resistance, you will have placed your feet solidly on the high road to success.

Step 10.Become a Professional Problem Solver
Brain Tracy says, "A goal you have not yet achieved is simply a problem you have not yet solved."

In fact, whatever your goal, your real job is to solve any and all problems that stand between you and the achievement of that goal

in life, your career, your relationship, and your business all depend on one thing - your ability to understand and solve problems.


So from now on view yourself as a professional problem solver, and watch your goals
fall in place easier than you could have ever imagined.
