Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today we're diving into an intriguing topic that says Creating a Problem versus Solving a Problem, so let's go.
When we hear the word "create a problem", we often think of the other word, which is "causing a problem." . But, in this post, I am not referring to the one we always think about but am referring to a different type of problem.
Let's use this as an example: If we go to the market to buy a bag of rice and the price is #80,000, according to the seller, they are solving our problem; that's why they are selling it, but from our own perspective, it has already created a problem for us because of the price they are selling the rice. Let's look for more examples. Typical examples are Dangote products
, fashion designers, and graphic designers. Let start with Dangote.
Dangote is known for producing items such as cement, spaghetti, etc. For example, if we want to buy a pack of Dangote spaghetti and the price is #20,000, the price has already creates a problem for us as buyers, but from the Dangote perspective, he's solving our problem, and that's why he's producing a quality product for us.

Fashion designers, we know that fashion designers are the ones designing the clothes we are wearing; that's why we always look good in any clothes we wear. For example, if we want to buy or design a cloth and it costs #15,000, this may create a problem for us because of the price, but from the designer's perspective, they are solving our problem; that's why they are creating a unique and stylish design or dress for us.

Graphic designers. A graphic designer is the one designing our logos, flyers, movie posters, etc. For example, if we want to design a movie poster and the graphic designer asks us to bring #20,000 to help us design the movie poster, to us, it has already created a problem because of the price, but from the designer's perspective, they are solving our problem; that's why they are providing a professional and creative product for us, the clients.

I know a guy who is a graphic designer. One day a client called him saying he wanted to do a flyer and asked how much will he collect. The guy asked the client to bring #10,000. The client was shocked because of the amount and because of that, it had already created a problem for the client, so the client looked for an excuse, saying he would get back to the guy later, till now the client is yet to call the guy.
In conclusion, all these examples show how costs appear as a problem, but it's actually a part of the process of offering valuable and good solutions.
In addition to my conclusion, it's not everybody that truly know this type of creating a problem, only those who truly work alongside of this work actually know this.
