Summary
Most people groan, avoid, or delegate when problems hit. Darren Hardy makes the case that this instinct is costing them serious money. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, he draws on the story of Henry Kaiser, who built 100+ companies in the 1930s and 40s by hunting problems others refused to touch, including constructing the Hoover Dam and cutting Liberty ship build time from 355 days to 14.
Amazon, Apple, and Uber each built their empires on the same principle: market value equals the size of problems you can solve.
