00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: What's up. This is the people shark hair Damon John

00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: with another motivation moment for you courtesy of That Moment

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: with Damon John, a production of the Black Coppet Podcast

00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Network and iHeartRadio.

00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 2: In a recent interview, former President Obama said, the most

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: important advice I give to young people is just learn

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: how to get stuff done. What I'm always looking for is,

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: no matter how small the problem or how big it is,

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: somebody who says, let me take care of that, think

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: about that. That sounds extremely simple, but it is a very,

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: very powerful piece of advice from one of the most

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: powerful men in the world. And why because a lot

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: of people don't think that it's their job to solve

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: a problem. The successful people in business, the successful people

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: in life, they solve a problem. Most founders of businesses

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: do not think about the money they make. They think,

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: I have this problem, and I'm sure a bunch of

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: other people do. I thought somebody else was going to

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: solve it. Now I'm going to solve it now. You

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: don't have to be only a problem solver or to

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: be an entrepreneur. If you are somebody working in a company,

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: especially the people that work in my company, who am

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: I going to want to pay more attention to or

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: work with or hopefully partner with. People are going to

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: meet and say, hey boss, we have a problem.

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: What do you want me to do?

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Or hey boss, we have a problem. I have a

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: couple of ideas that I think can help solve this problem.

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: What would you like me to do? Would you like

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: me to try to solve them or give them to

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: somebody else? But no matter what, I put in some

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: effort on how to solve these problems, and you know what,

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to say, let's do it together. When you

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: are somebody who walks into the room as somebody who

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: is a problem solver, or even if you don't have

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: the answer, you will make your best effort to find

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: the answer. And if we're going to face we're going

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: to fail, not because we didn't try. That's the person

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: people want to have in their lives. But yourself on

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: the other side of the table, you know the people

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: that come on to you that always have a problem,

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: and you're like, man, I have enough of my own problems,

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: why do I need to hear your problem? Well, if

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: you're the person who walks in a room and says

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to get it done. I'm not going to

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: pass the buck. I'm not going to hand it all.

47
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Trust me. Responsibility is something that must be taken, it

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: can't be given. And if you can solve a problem,

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: no matter how small it is, you will gain trust

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: in your partners and relationships, whether it's business or personal,

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: whether it is a customer or whether it is your family.

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: Learn how to solve problems and you will make not

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,560

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,360
