Fixerism


A ‘FIXER’ definition: A person who makes arrangements for other people.
There are a lot of people in this world who posses this ability.

Understanding there is a big difference between a person who focuses on problem solving and a person who is a ‘FIXER‘. A problem solver does just that, looks for solutions to solve a specific problem, whereas a ‘FIXER’ goes a step beyond problem solving. A ‘FIXER’ feels the need to educate others about how the problem arose, how the solutions can fix the problem and how to prevent the problems form reoccurring in the future. A ‘FIXER’ is not satisfied with just finding the solution. Many times a ‘FIXER’ can simply find many solutions to a specific problem, they are not content with just finding a possible solution. They need to find the solution that fixes the problem. They also need to explain how the solutions fixes the problem. A ‘FIXER’ will not stop the search for solutions, many times they will continue to search, if they must, until the problem has been resolved.

The ‘FIXER’ needs to understand there is a limit. That limit is knowing that you can not always fix everyone’s problem. Stop thinking so much, it is alright not to know all the answers.

Every person is an individual who needs to find their own way, make their own mistakes and live their own experience. Even find their own solutions.
