Are You Spending Your Time Polishing Problems?

0 Comments

“Persistent perfect problems are a great way to hide from what’s possible.” — Seth Godin. Are you spending your time polishing problems? It’s easy to do. Our brains are wired for it. We return to the same familiar challenges because they’re known — even if they’re painful. The unknown is scarier.

But what’s possible lives on the other side of the problems you keep polishing. Try this: take your most persistent problem and, instead of trying to solve it, ask what becomes possible if it didn’t exist. That shift — from problem-focused to possibility-focused — often reveals solutions that the polishing never would.

You don't have to figure it out alone. Your Profit Team gives ecommerce owners the financial clarity and support that make the hard parts of business feel lighter.
