Mark's 7 Laws of Problem-Solving

Empowered AF 2.0 - Episode 111: "Mark's The 7 Laws of Problem-Solving"

In this episode, Mark Santiago shares his "7 Laws of Problem-Solving," a framework developed from his experience as a coach and business owner. These laws guide individuals in addressing both personal and relationship challenges:

  1. Not all problems need to be solved.
  2. Not all problems need to be solved now.
  3. Problems are agnostic - they don't care who you are.
  4. Problems are meant to help you grow as a leader.
  5. Solving problems is a game of sequence - solve the right problems at the right time.
  6. Problems are challenges meant to help you grow.
  7. Don't solve problems that haven't been created yet.


Mark applies these principles to relationship issues, emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. He shares a story about a client who regained power in his relationship by making the right decision to stay rather than leave.


Highlights:

  • How to discern which problems to tackle first
  • Understanding emotional disconnection in relationships
  • The significance of doing inner work and setting healthy boundaries


Mark also provides practical advice for listeners, like Nate, who are dealing with complex relationship issues such as infidelity. He encourages focusing on personal growth and healing before moving forward with new relationships.
