Interesting question; I am presented with many problems and challenges in my profession. Some I have direct control over and some I have no control over at all.

But as far as using my mind as a powerful tool, the hardest and most difficult thing I do is convince people or groups of people to help me accomplish tasks or goals they may not have totally bought into.

It takes mindful attention to details, clear and simple communication, anticipation of pushback, and consideration of feedback.

It also helps to learn to let those same people come up with their own plan of how they can accomplish that task or goal. They almost always know the best way.

You can practice by convincing a child to clean their room, lol.
