Brian Tracy Quotes

I believe that when you find problems, you should also find solutions.

If we are going to be part of the solution, we have to engage the problems.

Focus on opportunities, not problems.

There is no use talking about the problem unless you talk about the solution

To be successful in business and life, spot the possibilities while others look for problems.

Abraham Maslow taught me, that when you're working with a patient, never let them spend more than a few moments on the problem, because what you think about is what expands, and if they're talking about the problem all the time, when they leave your session, the problem will expand. Get 'em to put their attention on what they intend to create, or on solutions.

Never attack a problem without also presenting a solution.

Effective people are not problem-minded; they're opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems.

It is more productive to convert an opportunity into results than to solve a problem - which only restores the equilibrium of yesterday.

Worrying about a problem is not a strategy for change.

Think of the solution, not the problem

The truth of the matter is, we're not far away from where we should be. We can complain about the problem or we can go out and solve the problem. I choose to go out and try to solve the problem.

When we point to obstacles we inhibit progress. When we offer solutions we advance.

Should-haves solve nothing. It's the next thing to happen that needs thinking about.

If you want to get over a problem, stop talking about it. Your mind affects your mouth and your mouth affects your mind. It's difficult to stop talking about a situation until you stop thinking about it.

Your life is not a problem to be solved, but an adventure to be enjoyed. You are doing better than you think.

I think being a producer makes you a problem solver, so you kind of go, "Well there's a problem. What do we do? How do we solve it?"

There are no problems that can’t be solved. The world is too full of options. If you can’t solve the #problem, it’s because you haven’t found the right option ... But the answer is always there.

If everyone is a changemaker, there's no way a problem can outrun a solution

Anticipating problems and figuring out how to solve them is actually the opposite of worrying: it's productive.

It is not enough just to identify a problem; there are plenty of people who were very skilled at pointing out what was wrong with the world, but they were not always so adept at working out how these things could be righted.

You read something and you know it's not there yet. There's a little section here that... this part's good but that is a little not, it doesn't quite work. That doesn't quite work. That's easy. To say, "OK, now, this is what I think will fix it." That's harder. And most people can tell you what's wrong with something. Very few people can say what they would do to fix it.

Remember, there is no situation so completely hopeless that something constructive cannot be done about it. When faced with a minus, ask yourself what you can do to make it a plus. A person practicing this attitude will extract undreamed-of outcomes from the most unpromising situations. Realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

Every problem contains the seed of it's own solution.

Don’t be scared... Be positive... Please don’t think that your life is about to end... Take the right advice and act as soon as you can... If there’s an issue in your system, don’t ignore it.
