The 55-Minute Rule: Why Defining Problems Is More Valuable Than Solving Them (Clarity as a Competitive Advantage)
Most agents throw money, time, and energy at problems without ever stopping to define what the actual problem is. The result? You end up solving symptoms instead of root causes—and the same issues keep showing up in different forms.
In this solo episode, Kevin Kauffman breaks down Einstein's 55-minute rule and Kindlin's Law to show you why clarity is the most underrated multiplier in your business. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels on the same challenges, this episode will change how you approach problem-solving forever.
Key themes and takeaways:
Why Einstein spent 55 minutes defining problems and only 5 minutes solving them
Kindlin's Law: if you can write a problem down clearly, you've already solved half of it
How writing things down reduces complexity and separates signal from noise
The leadership question that helps your team solve their own problems: "Is that really true?"
A simple weekly exercise to solve problems faster and with less stress
Why most business owners are solving symptoms instead of root causes
How to turn big, scary problems into solvable puzzles
The clarity you seek is on the blank page you're avoiding. Before you call another meeting, spend another dollar, or burn another hour—grab a notebook and define the problem. Watch how quickly the solution reveals itself.
Your challenge this week: Pick one problem that's been hanging around your business. Write it down in one sentence. Ask yourself, "Is that really true?" Keep refining until it feels smaller, clearer, and more specific. That's when you'll know exactly what to do next.
