A Plan is the bridge from Problem to Solution

When people ask me how do I start solving problems, my answer is make a plan. The plan may not work, it may not be affordable, and it may not be doable immediately. But make a plan. Change the plan and make a better one. Make a plan that you can start working on on. Find the people around you to help. Accept help.  Eventually, you will succeed. The problem will go away. Celebrate the success with the people that helped you get there. And then prepare for the next problem.
