About this listen
No problem too large! No problem too complex! No problem you can't handle!
There is an old saying about problems that you may have heard before, "There are no problems, only opportunities." To this simple-minded approach, Bill Gibson says, "Hogwash." Problems do exist. And you need to prepare for them and understand them before you can overcome them. Even the great problem solvers can't make problems go away, but they often find opportunities linked to them. Take Alexander Graham Bell, for instance. He lost his new-born son shortly after birth because of under-developed lungs. A heart-breaking, unsolvable problem for Bell. But he channeled his despair in a positive direction. Late the same night after the death of his son, he invented the first incubator so other premature infants could be saved!
Nobody wants problems and nobody can avoid them. But with Bill Gibson's guidance, you can become a master at The Art and Science of Problem Solving. In this program you'll learn how to investigate the anatomy of a problem, how to look for unexpected solutions, how to investigate unexplained deviations from the norm, how to identify the solvable from the insolvable puzzles before you proceed, as well as many of the other steps practiced by the great problem solvers in history. You'll have a definite plan of action when it comes to problems like:
- solving technical trouble areas at work or home
- smoothing out financial and budget problems
- understanding and harmonizing social and family relationships
- dealing with disagreements, complaints and misunderstandings
- convincing others to agree with you
- dreaming up creative marketing and communications ideas
Bill Gibson has done for problem solving what Zig Ziglar has done for selling and Roger Dawson has done for negotiating. He's created a fail-safe system destined to change the way you think about problems forever.

Story
Most of us still live by the motto, “No pain, no gain.” But this approach to life is actually a prescription for fear, frustration, and self-doubt. Much of what we learn about success is based on the pain/gain idea: in essence, work harder, be more persistent, and develop greater willpower. The New Psycho-Cybernetics formula is anything but painful. It will allow you to achieve all your goals, faster, easier, and with less strain than you ever thought possible.

We are influenced by every person and interaction we have, and, in turn, we influence everyone and everything around us.

Smith and Griffin upskill listeners with tools to stay humble, lead themselves and the people around them well, and create opportunities to expand their influence in new and exciting ways.

While many personal development and spiritual speakers develop a “guru-like” status with their listeners, Joe Vitale has always portrayed himself as a "fellow traveler" along the path of growth - walking alongside you, not above or beyond you. So, rest assured, what you are about to hear comes from Joe’s heart - someone who truly wants to share ideas that transformed him from a homeless person on the streets of Dallas, Texas, to a wealthy person both materially and most importantly to him, spiritually.
