4.1 Embrace and Resolve Problems: Introduction

As you search for and negotiate risk capital, you'll probably encounter a problem or two along the way. Are you ready to solve them? Most people are quite capable of solving 90 percent of the business problems they encounter — it's the other 10 percent that will test your skills says Morgan D. Jones, author of The Thinker's Toolkit: Fourteen Skills for Making Smarter Decisions in Business and in Life.

When these tougher situations arise, simply learning more about the subject won't take care of the problem. Instead you need to know techniques that will help you explore the issues and make better decisions. We'll show you techniques that will help bring you closer to the best possible solution.
