Enigmatology

It appears as if my secondary profession is enigmatology, a term for those involved in the science of puzzles. My puzzle of choice, business building. No crosswords or sudoku rather something exponentially more intricate and sophisticated.

I use puzzles to convey my point as most people are familiar with them. Mostly for entertainment, I was unaware there was an actual science to puzzles. Some would probably make the same argument for business building. I’d agree with them both.

There are certain traits, characteristics, strategies and tactics that need to be successfully applied before it’s completion. Whether a puzzle or business certain things need to take place or failure is certain.

So I continue to assemble my puzzle. The first one is the most challenging. Once success has been found, the road traversed is much less challenging.

Today, Monday, February 10, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’m aware of what’s missing. Unconscious incompetence, one of the four stages of learning, I didn’t even know what I needed this time last year. Today, I know what I need and therefore what my deficiencies are.

I listed item one. I just realized that now that I’m aware of what I need, I can move forward with obtaining those pieces of the puzzle.

I don’t dwell on the problems as long as I have in the past. I’m more focused on solutions now than ever before. It’s plain to see that what I focus on becomes greater.

What pieces are you missing?(personnel, finances, education, etc.)

How can you acquire those pieces?

When will you acquire those pieces?

How will you use those pieces once you’ve obtained them?
