She said, “The industry is too competitive.” She talked for a whole hour. In the end, she finally saw the vicious cycle.
她说“行业太卷了”，说了一个小时。最后，她看见了那个循环。
“行业太卷了。客户信息不透明，同行拼价钱，方案白嫖……”
她坐下来就开始说。市场难、客户差、团队弱、投入不够。三十分钟，没停过。
“这三十分钟，”我说，“我听到的全是问题。”
她没接，换了个角度又绕了一圈。顾虑、痛点、困境，换着包装再来一遍。
十五分钟后，我打断她。
“四十五分钟了。还是问题。方法在哪？”
她愣了一分钟。开口，还是问题。
我停了对话。
“你看见那个恶性循环了吗？不在外面。在你里面。”
那天我没给她方案。只让她看见，然后让她选下一步。
如果你也在‘问题说了一圈又一圈，还在原地’里来回打转。与我联系。一起找到问题的根。你的时间与精力，应该花在高回报的目标上。

“The industry is too competitive. Clients’ information is unclear, peers are cutting prices, resources are limited…”
She started venting right after sitting down, about the market, clients, team issues, and insufficient investment. She spoke nonstop for thirty minutes.
After thirty minutes, I said, “Everything I’m hearing is just problems.”
She paused, shifted her perspective, and went around in another circle - worries, pain points, difficulties - still circling back to the same place.
Fifteen minutes later, I interrupted her again.
“Forty-five minutes have passed. Still the same problem. Is this the only way?”
She was stunned for a minute. Then she opened her mouth… and it was still about the problems.
I ended the conversation.
“Do you see that vicious cycle now? It’s not outside. It’s inside you.”
That day, I didn’t give her any solutions. I just let her see it clearly, then guided her to take the next step.
If you also feel stuck in a problem, going around in circles again and again, and can’t break out no matter how hard you try - feel free to reach out. Let’s find the root cause together. Your time and energy deserve to be spent on high-return goals.
