One of the best ways to find the solution to an issue or challenge you are facing is to ask the right questions. The right question always leads you to the correct answer. Questions matter.
In business, encore performers are brilliant at getting to the right question. The one that gets them to the place they need to get to and offers them the missing piece they need to find. And in life, asking yourself a powerful question will allow you to step into a whole new set of possibilities that you may have missed while you were locked into an old way of seeing things.
Here are the five questions that I pondered about when I went for a morning walk with my parents today morning. I suggest you write them down and then find some time today to answer them in your spare time.
1. Where am I cutting corners?
2. What would I do if I knew I could not fail?
3. What am I resisting?
4. What can I be grateful for?
5. How do I want to be remembered?
My mentor TD loves to quote Einstein on this, 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the different result'. Let us make the necessary changes to move on ahead.
