You're listening to No Broke Months for Salespeople Podcast. In this episode of the No Broke Months for Salespeople podcast, Dan Rochon challenges the belief that it can't be done and reframes it into, I don't know how yet. He breaks down why lack of know-how is the biggest perceived obstacle to success and how top achievers turn ignorance into innovation. Dan shares how to recruit others, leverage technology, and activate creative problem solving to overcome any challenge in the future. business and life. All right, guys. I don't pull up a cup of coffee, little hot chocolate, some marshmallows. I'm going to read you a bedtime story. If I could find my bedtime story. I had my bedtime story already for you. I'm not going to put you to sleep. I'm going to wake you up. Wake you up. Okay. I want to talk to you guys about your lack of know-how, not your lack of know-how,

but our lack of know-how as people. Okay. And this is something that I would say, I have an unusual skill. And I had a boss once upon a time that also had this unusual skill. I didn't like the boss very much. His name was Rick something or another. And Rick would always be able to solve a problem no matter what. And it's the first time I've seen somebody else do it really, really effectively. And I want to reassure you that you have the ability to solve any problems yourself.

And I want to read through. So I don't know. I wouldn't even know where to start. I can never do that. I don't even have a clue how to do that. These statements represent a roadblock everyone confronts, namely lack of know-how. It's without a doubt that the single grade is perceived obstacle to extraordinary achievement for the vast majority of American adults and Filipinos is this lack of know-how that affects every area of your personal and professional life.

How many men and women give up on relationships because they simply don't know what to do when it comes to figuring out what their partner needs or wants, or how to take a relationship that isn't working and make it work a whole lot better? How often do salespeople lose a sale because you don't know what to do to overcome a client's objection? How many parents give up on a rebellious teenager because they don't know how to handle the child? Nothing is more discouraging or frustrating than to face a situation in which you simply don't know what to do or how to do it. The majority of adults surrender or retreat when confronted with a situation that reveals their lack of know-how. Even though everyone lacks know-how in some area or other, in reality, this is usually only a perceived obstacle.

In fact, one-tenth of one percent of American adults and Filipinos, who are dream achievers, view their lack of know-how as nothing more than a temporary inconvenience. I want to read that piece to you guys again. one-tenth of one-tenth of one-percent of adults believe that the lack of know-how is just a temporary barrier. That means 99.99% of human beings of adults, when they get an obstacle, they stop trying. They stop looking. 99.9.9%. So the odds are all of us would be in that 99.9%. I'm asking for you to look at the 0.1%.

Okay? It's a big ask, by the way. When dream achievers are confronted with a situation that reveals their ignorance, they hear a call to action and creative thinking. Do you think Thomas Edison had know-how when he began to pursue his dream of creating electric light? He had no know-how. That's why it took him over 10,000 attempts before he finally achieved his dream. Or how Oprah Winfrey, when she agreed to host her first talk show,

having never hosted a talk show before, she certainly lacked know-how. lack of know-how is a common to human experience as breathing. And yet the vast majority of adults view is Mount Everest and a blizzard and a possible obstacle to overcome. And because it's perceived this way, no attempt is made to climb or conquer it. All right. So it goes on to talk about how to be able to work with the know-how or the lack of know-how. And it goes on and it talks to us about the fact that we have limited number of strengths, talents, and abilities. And yet we have an infinite number of weaknesses in.

Inabilities. Said another way, what we do know and can do is much less than what we don't know and can't do. If we can't find a way to convert our weaknesses and inabilities from obstacles into springboards, we will never achieve anything beyond mediocre. The majority of difference between dream achievers and a vast majority of adults is that dream achievers recruit others to make up for their lack of know-how, while a vast majority of adults simply surrender to it. All right. So what that means to me is that we all have within our the ability to be able to solve problems. And we have the natural way of being that we may not take action to solve the problems, 99.9% of the time. We see a problem in what we hear and what we see is that can't be done.

If you ever want to trigger me, tell me something can't be done when I know it can be. Most often when I hear it can be done, Dan, what they're really saying to me is I don't know how to do it. And there's a significant difference and a significant power between the statement, I don't know how to do it and it can't be done. One kills all possibility and that's the natural way that we think in when we speak. The other remains a possibility. If I wanted to build a spaceship right now, I don't know how to do it.

But I'm certainly not going to tell you it can't be done. Elon Musk, NASA, Jeff Bezos, other countries have all done it. It can be done. I don't know how to do it. So if you're in a situation where something can be done and you don't know how to do it, then the first solution would be to figure it out. We've got technology today that when I was your age for most of you, in fact, probably for all of you. And for some of you, I had a freaking encyclopedia to try to figure out a problem when I was a kid. Okay? The technology that we have today is insurmountable.

It's incomparable. You have the ability to solve almost any problem right in your freaking three by five contraption right here. Okay? You just have to ask. If you don't know how to do something, go to chat GPT. Figure it out. Ask somebody else here within the organization. This is Dan Rocheon, host of No Broke Months.
