360: Stop Living With Problems You Can Solve Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, VA, Owner, Or Self-Employed
Have you ever noticed that some problems just move into your life, and it never feels like they’ll ever be solved? They take over your life, and you tell yourself things like, “Ugh. I don’t have the energy to deal with this right now.” So you let them stay in your life. Before you know it, the days you are dealing with these problems turn into months, and months turn into “I guess this is just how my life is now.” Today I want to talk to you about those kinds of problems. The ones you’ve just decided to accept, even though deep down, you know you could solve them. The ones you think are “too big,” “too complicated,” or “too exhausting” to figure out. And if you’re an accountant or a high-stress professional, I already know you have at least one of these floating around in your life. How do I know this? Because I’ve been there myself. Maybe you’re dealing with a problem at work. It could be something that takes up a big chunk of your time every single day, but you haven’t changed because “that’s how we’ve always done it.” Maybe it’s a habit, procrastinating on big projects, snacking on junk food late at night because you’re too tired to cook something healthy, scrolling at night when you know you need sleep. Maybe it’s a relationship you’re not happy with. It could be with a client, a coworker, or a family member, and you continue to tiptoe around it because solving it feels like it is going to be hard or messy. Whatever you're dealing with, I want to help you understand one thing today. You can solve your problems. You’re supposed to solve your problems. And solving them opens the door to opportunities you don’t even see yet. This is the work we do inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process, not because solving problems is the point, but because solving problems is what creates the life you actually want. Let’s dive in…

Show Notes:
Hey there, I’m Chris Panek, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Coach, and the host of the Mastering Your Small Business Finances Podcast, and I want to welcome you to this new series I’m doing on this podcast. My intention is to drop one of these additional episodes every Monday while I continue to provide you with the regular Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast episodes, which will continue to help you take control of and understand your business finances with topics that ultimately impact your bottom line. I have many business owners, accountants, and other high-stress professionals who listen to this podcast, and I want to get more help out there for individuals like you when it comes to mastering your mindset. I’ll be taking a few moments each week to touch on topics that many high-stress professionals are dealing with and provide solutions to help you increase your overall well-being. Because I know your time is valuable, just like the Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast, my goal is to keep these episodes short and straight to the point but full of useful information to help you succeed in not only your professional life but your personal life as well.

Do you ever think you’re not good at problem-solving? I hear things like this all the time from my clients. “I’m good at solving other people’s problems, just not my own.” Or, “I can figure out a lot of issues, but not why I am overwhelmed.” Or one of the favorites I hear is, “It shouldn’t be this hard, so I must be doing something wrong.” No, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just a human with a human brain, and your brain was built to look for danger, not solutions. It’s built to protect you, not evolve you. Solving problems is a learned skill, not an inherent trait. When your brain sees a problem, it defaults to thinking, “This is too hard.” “Not now.” “I don’t know how.” “This will take too long.” Or, “I’ll deal with it later.” Your brain doesn’t offer brilliant ideas when you’re stressed. It offers exit strategies. It wants to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy. And when we add an extra layer of constant decision fatigue, where on an average day, by 2 p.m., you’ve made about 400 micro-decisions. By 8 p.m., you’re tapped out. By the weekend, you want to think about absolutely nothing. So you can see this is a lingering problem, right? Your brain will absolutely want to avoid problems. But problem-solving is a muscle. You can strengthen it. And when you do, your entire life gets easier. This is why, inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process, one of the earliest shifts people experience is seeing their problems differently. Not as heavy weights, but as invitations. They see them as opportunities and doorways.
