Solve Problems Every Single Day

Matthew Morgan is a young online entrepreneur from Northern Ireland.

In this video, he shares how he went from “broke and lazy” to earning $10k/month in one year…

Paraphrasing:

The real thing that changed with me: I realized that entrepreneurship requires you to solve problems every single day. You’re going to have to figure out how to be self-sufficient and solve things on your own without having to ask somebody all the time.

As someone who regularly gets emails from people asking questions they could easily google the answers to, I couldn’t agree more with this.

I have a special “doomed” label in my Gmail, applied liberally to messages from people who clearly haven’t put any significant time or effort into solving their own problems. Instead, they email a stranger and hope for a magical solution to arrive back in their inbox 🙄

Don’t be one of those people. Cultivate the skill of figuring things out.

And remember: everything is figureoutable.

(Also, the more time and energy you invest in solving your own problems, the more other people will want to help you. We all prefer to help someone who helps themselves.)
