On Part 2 of my conversation with Clarissa DiGioacchino we discuss ways in which you can become more effective at solving problems and being resourceful both in your business and your personal life. Where’s the line between being inspired by others and starting to compare yourself to them? And how to apply creative thinking to your problem-solving approach and creating solutions? If you want to hear Part 1 of our conversation, make sure to listen to the previous episode that’s all about the emotional transition curve and being self-aware.

[07:33] Resourcefulness and the ability to problemsolve is the key to being an entrepreneur. Anyone can learn to be a problem solver. And it all comes down to the way you look at a problem and ask yourself, how you can work through it? Entrepreneurs solve their clients’ problems. 

[17:42] The three skills that can that can help you form better problem solving abilities and three aspects that dampen them.

[23:34] How to figure out when it’s time to soak in inspiration from others and when it’s time to head off on your own journey without comparing yourself to others?
