#28: Fix the Right Problem

Too many entrepreneurs jump to solutions before they’ve even defined the real problem. “Customers aren’t buying, so should I lower my prices?” Sound familiar? In this episode, I walk you through why those knee-jerk, “spaghetti against the wall” responses rarely solve anything—and how to stop making them.

One of my favorites - the Five Whys framework can uncover the root cause behind what’s really going on in your business and why slowing down to ask better questions will get you further than any reactive fix. Plus, I break down the three categories most problems fall into: a forced market shift, an internal model shift, or a personal need for change—and how each one requires a different kind of response.
