Multifamily Legacy Podcast 009: The Power of Solving Problems
Today’s show is going to be a shorter more introspective episode about how life and people work. I was never good at memorizing information for school or homework, but I have always been really good at solving problems. I was the person in our home who hooked up the VCR and set everything up to record.
I followed the instructions and figured things out. I feel like in life that is the thing that I have been able to do. When my kids come to me for help with things, I know that sometimes I have to step back and let them learn to solve their problems. How will they get good at problem solving without exercising that muscle? Today’s show is about the power of solving problems.
Topics on Today’s Episode:
