While binge-watching house-hunter shows, I noticed that most lookie-loos say things like, “Ick…I can’t stand those white cabinets!” or “That bathtub is a deal breaker!” or the ever-popular “No granite countertops in the kitchen? Why even look at the rest of the house?” Then you see the occasional one who says, “I don’t like that tub, but we can make this work” or “The white cabinets are icky, but with a little sanding and painting, we’ll have what we want.” That, my friend, is the difference between a muggle and an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are solution oriented. Try it for a week: Stop concentrating on the first “ick”, and say instead, “What can I do to make this work?” You’ll come up with alternatives. Try it. You’ll like the results.
