Problem Finders Vs Problem Solvers

As soon as a story is published,
I know I’ll receive
many, MANY emails
from readers
telling me about spelling mistakes,
misused words,
things they didn’t like.

The world is filled with problem finders.
They are EVERYWHERE
and, once you’ve been in any business
for a while,
you tend to tune them out.

What gets my attention
is when a reader or writer or reviewer
suggests a solution.
That’s rare.

As Robert Murray,
author of
It’s Already Inside,
shares

“Problem finders are everywhere.
Innovative problem solvers are rare.
Imagination and thinking
outside the box is scarce.”

If you want to add value
to your chosen industry,
be a problem solver.
Your solution doesn’t have to be perfect,
it likely won’t be,
but offer one.
