Problem Solving is Key

Filed in archive Bootstrapper Tips on June 12, 2009

Success in starting a business is mostly about figuring out what to do when challenges arise. So I couldn't help but get a little excited when I say this point on problem solving.

In the piece Sid Kemp looks a six basic steps to assessing and solving problems. And in his view, most of it is common sense...

There's an old joke that a consultant is someone who listens to the employees, tells management what they are saying and takes a fee for it. This is truer than most consultants would like to admit.

The bottom line, like Sid says, is that when you fix all the small problems in your business, profits shoot through the roof.
