What is a Super Solver?
Someone who knows what it takes to solve any problem that comes their way!
Super Solvers understand:
* the Steps they need to take to evaluate the problem,
* the Strategies they should use to solve the problem,
* the importance of having the right State of Mind. These are the three S’s of the Super Solver System!
To become a Super Solver, you need to understand the Super Solving System!
The first thing a successful problem solver, a Super Solver, does when encountering a problem, is to evaluate the problem and make a plan!
How do you make a plan?
Go through the following four Super Solver Steps!
Step 1: Understand the problem
Step 2: Choose a strategy to use
Step 3: Do it! Use your chosen strategy.
Step 4: Inspect to check that your solution makes sense.
The wonderful part is if you get to step 4 and still have not solved the problem, you simply circle back to step 1 and repeat!
