Chapters
One of my favorite lessons from Steven Spielberg was when he was filming Jaws, the shark broke, right? They had spent all of their budget. They got this incredible mechanical shark. They called it Bruce. Now, most people, they would just give up. Steven Spielberg is an incredible problem solver, and he rewrote the script to feature yellow barrels, right? So if you remember, in Jaws, he had these yellow barrels tied to the shark, and that's how they would know Jaws was coming and where Jaws was. But the reason he did that was to solve the problem of actually having no shark at all. Just so you know, when you're watching Shaws, all there is is yellow barrel barrels bobbing about in the sea. And I think that's an incredible lesson for everyone listening to this. Are you a problem solver, or do you let problems stop you from doing the thing you truly want to do?
