Find Experts Not Solutions

Kendall Saville shares his perspective on problem-solving, particularly when facing challenging situations. He emphasizes the importance of finding experts rather than trying to figure everything out yourself, demonstrated through his experience with having twins and managing his business ventures.

Key Points:

• Expert-First Approach:

  • When facing a challenge, look for someone who has solved it before
  • Focus on finding the right expert rather than learning everything yourself
  • "You're doing the hard part, I'll do the easy part and just try to find someone that has done this before"

• Real-Life Application (Twin Parenting):

  • Hired a twin expert for the first 4 months
  • Expert worked 18 hours a day with the babies
  • Focus was on training the parents, similar to "training the dog owner, not the dog"
  • Result: Babies synced schedules and slept through the night after 4 months

• Business Application:

  • When facing business problems, think about "who can fix this for me" rather than "how can I fix this problem"
  • This approach leads to more efficiency
  • Allows you to focus on your superpower while delegating to experts
  • "You can think about how can I fix this problem... or you can just think about who can fix this for me"

• Lifestyle Optimization:

  • Applies the same principle to personal life improvements
  • Example: Hired a chef for better nutrition and time management
  • Focuses on finding experts who can improve quality of life
  • Values efficiency over doing everything personally

• Problem-Solving Philosophy:

  • Don't try to be the expert at everything
  • Invest in finding and leveraging expertise
  • Focus on managing experts rather than becoming one in every area
  • Make life easier by finding people who already know the solutions
