Successful people ask better questions, and as a result they get better answers
I did some inner work myself last week with one of my coaches and here are my top takeaways from the experience, I wanted to share with you, in the hope you might find them useful in your journey.
1. Always have a learning mind
If you go into a mastermind or training thinking you know everything you won't learn anything.
I always look for something new, or something that I have heard before but never had the time to apply it. Maybe now is the right time to look at that again.
There maybe people in the room who have only been in business half the time you have but you can still learn a lot from. Always do the exercises and ask questions – it will really get you thinking.
It is always useful to have someone else's eyes on your business. Or stop you and make you think again and reassess where you actually are NOW!
2. Values & Boundaries Trump Strategy EVERY TIME
I deliberately put myself in a group that will stretch me but also aligns with my values.
I have been in a lot of coaching, mastermind,training events over the years, all with great content but it wasn't always in alignment with how I want to structure my business and design my life around the people I want in my life and what I want to achieve.
My motto is – I want business success and still stay married.
I was stretched but it still fit within my values and lifestyle that I want to create.
3. Questions I loved...
• " What do I want my life to look like in 3 years?" – how many days off – vacation time – weekends off
• " What am I lacking or craving?" – how can I quench my burning desire
• " How can I incorporate selfcare into my business plan?" – without guilt
As Tony Robbins says: “successful people ask better questions and as a result they get better answers”
What great empowering questions will you ask yourself today?
