Questions Are The Answer

01 Oct Questions Are The Answer

Looking to grow your business and your wealth? Dealing with a challenge and looking for the answer? Better answers appear when you ask better questions. Here are some that I ask myself.

• What is the area that, if you made an improvement, would give you and others the greatest return on time, energy, and dollars invested?
• What is holding you back from absolutely crushing it in your business?
• What is currently impossible to do, that if it were possible, would change everything?
• What are you trying to make happen in the next three months?
• What is the most important decision you are facing? What is keeping you from making it?
• What business are you really in? Why are you in that business? What is the gap between where you are where you want to be? What do you need? What’s next?
• What area under your responsibility are you most satisfied with? Least satisfied with?
• What responsibilities are you avoiding right now?
• If you were hired as a consultant and told to evaluate the business you’re in, what would you recommend?
• What conversations are you avoiding right now?
• What do you wish you had more time to do? Why?
• What things are you doing that you would like to stop doing or delegate to someone else?
• If you were competing against your current business, what would you do to win?
• What threatens your peace? What threatens your business/investments? Your health? Your personal fulfillment?
• If you don’t change anything, what are the implications? If you change nothing, where are you in 1 year? 5 years? 20 years? 50 years?
