Citing a problem is only a step in problem-solving. People frequently get stuck on noticing a problem; however, they also need to ask questions, find potential resolutions and establish a plan to resolve the issue. When a person continues to focus on a problem without taking further steps the problem may worsen.
What kind-of questions should a person ask? Sometimes questions appear in how a person talks about a problem. Communication is an excellent way to find questions. Identifying strengths and weaknesses is excellent for evaluating current standings to devise a plan. Focus on strengths to compensate weaknesses; however, a person getting a job to resolve monetary issues focuses on a weakness.
This does not mean people don't need money or investors to survive or go forward with goals. Sometimes we need income to survive long enough to figure out the ultimate goal. However, simply getting a job does not always resolve money issues.
If we identified having spendable income is a problem, why is it a problem? Do you spend money as soon as you get it? Are there difficulties getting a job? Is the debt obligation greater than a person earns? Working on the issue different inputs alter the approach. Spend time asking questions, because questions produce right answers.
I am a person who has problems with spending money. As long as there is money in checking, there is always something I really need. Testing methods to address the problem, found out short-term payment options works out. In addition, when needing to save money, it is better to buy money orders and renew them until having enough to make the purchase without a loan, because there is a deadline for making the purchase and the money is given importance over any other optional purchase.
Recognizing the strength of resourcefulness, I am imbued with the gift of planning immediate goals. If needing something quickly, it is amazing how I can do the work myself, gain support or do both. The shopping tendency stems from having goals higher than what is available and constantly readjusting to new circumstances. By identifying this, I can purchase materials for the future or immediate necessities related to the next step in a long-term plan.
Resourceful purchases have potential to earn money. After trying out several options, I found investing in stocks is better than a savings account, because stocks are actually a purchase. This adaptation functions as a means to achieving future goals; therefore, is an irreplaceable resource, I now own. Buying, instead of, renting tools follows this methodology, because if in needing something, it can be built with tools. A person could mow lawns or complete maintenance work for income.
Now the problem has a solution after asking questions, finding potential solutions, testing potential solutions and then implementing a plan. People dispense advice according to their strengths. Chances are if they don't know how people cannot put a percentage of checks into a saving account for emergencies, they have this strength. While it works for them, not everyone has the same strengths.
Think about someone who is creative and always taking on more responsibility. They are gaining skills; however, as many times as you say "Get a job and save money," they starting another project. Working only to go broke a few month later does not resolve the problem. If they do this the rest of their life; they will end up old and poor one day.
