I’m going to tell you how to solve any and every problem you’ll ever face in three steps. But first, The Problem Solving framework is not about forcing outcomes, controlling people, or getting what you want. This framework is strictly available to help you find the path that will solve any and every problem.

The most important thing to remember, before using this to solve your problems, is that it’s not flexible. There is no way to manage the outcome. This isn’t a magic eight ball where you can try for one answer and then wait ten minutes and try for another.

No, here is where you will meet reality. You may not like the outcome when using the framework. What you discover may bring on unwelcome feelings. This is to be expected because, as humans, we like to choose outcomes. So, while you’re experiencing your feelings, remember, this framework is not flexible. Its purpose is to solve your problem.

If you’re not ready to solve your problem, stop here.

Step 1: Identify the Problem

If you feel stuck or like you can’t make a move, it’s important to understand why. What’s the problem? Is it physical, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual?
