When a problem happens we must not overreact.
We must see the problem exactly as it is and not worse than it is. Unlike what the media does.
Analyze the problem by asking questions like:
– Why is it a problem?
– What would happen if everything works exactly as it should?
– When is the problem occurring?
– What will you absolutely not tolerate?
– How can you solve, fix or mitigate the problem?
Take a step back from the problem without getting caught up in the emotion.
It’s ok to want more as long as you are willing to ask more out of yourself. Ask more to get out of your life, your relationships, and your job. If you do not ask then you will keep getting what you have been getting. Before you ask though be sure your willing to pay the price. If you ask for more then you will be asked to do more as well. Only ask for more if you are willing to give more.
What do people believe that is wrong?
How can I influence the direction of a market?
How can I create a new market where I am the leader?
What does the market need that it currently doesn’t have?
What is the market willing to pay for?
What is a niche market that I could join or create?
What are my skills and passions that would allow me to be successful?
Who could I recruit to be on my team?
Who could provide mentorship to me?
How can I be happy?
How can I design the life of my dreams that will also improve the lives of those around me?
Why are you doing what you are doing?
Why are you at your current job?
How satisfied are you? How can you become more satisfied?
Who are you? How can you know yourself better?
What skills do you have that will benefit others? What can you do to have the greatest positive impact on the world?
How can I do what I am doing but better?
What do I think that is different than everyone else?
How can I bring people together?
When life is full of questions it can get overwhelming. The uncertainty of it all can drive anyone mad. What do I want to do with my life? How am I going to pay bills? Who am I going to marry? Do I want to have kids? How can I be healthy? How can I be happy? Who loves me? What do I believe?
There are so many questions that can be answered in so many different. I must know who I am to answer these questions. If I get the answer wrong then I need to ask and answer the question again. The better questions I ask myself, the better answers I will come up with. The next challenge is turning these answers into action.
The answer is always “No” if you do not ask the question. If the default answer is no then you have already lost and there is nothing more to lose and everything to gain. Maybe the Ego is holding you back for fear of rejection. That if someone says no then you will be embarrassed. This is just a trick that the mind is playing on you. Raise above this. If you want something then you have to ask for it.
A simple question to ask is, “What do you think?”
If you ask someone this question it doubles your perspective. Not only do you have your own but now you have someone else’s. Everyone has different life experiences so you will get unique perspective.
You want to identify the most valuable ideas not just verify your own ideas.
Are you stuck? Are you lost? Are you lonely? Are you sad?
Whatever the problem is there are answers out there. You must know what the problem is and be vulnerable enough to ask for help. Ask everyone. Ask no one. Ask anyone.
You will not get any answers unless you ask questions. Questions are the key to show you the way. The better questions you ask the better answers you will receive.
If you want to work less and more. If you want to improve the quality of your life then you need to improve the quality of questions you ask.
If you ask, How can I get by? Then you will meet the bare minimum standard.
If you ask, How can I have fun thriving? Then you will get a different answer. Both will meet the same goal but will be accomplished differently. Our brain is forced to answer the questions we ask so make sure to ask great questions. Be specific in the questions and do not limit yourself to a single answer.
With different questions come different answers?
The quality of your life is dictated by the answers you come up with to the problems of your life.
Asking question that no one has asked before you will come up with solutions that no one has ever come up with. You will make new connections and metaphors that no one else has noticed before. This will make you and your work unique.
