The Power of Questions

Did you know that the quality of the questions that you ask yourself on a consistent basis have a powerful effect on your mood, your self-confidence and therefore your productivity?

Weak questions lead to weak results, and vice versa. One way to quickly change your mood, and your productivity, is to ask yourself smarter questions.

Questions such as these will put you in a weak state:
- Why doesn’t anyone ever return my calls?
- How come I can’t seem to "get" this business?
- Why do I have to make all these calls?
- How come my clients don’t respect my time?

Questions such as these will put you in a stronger state:
- What’s the fastest way to my next sendout?
- What is the closest thing to revenue?
- What system am I missing that could solve this problem?
- What are 3 easy calls I can make right now to get into action?
- What am I proud of right now?
- What do I love about this business?
- What hidden opportunities do I have on my desk right now?
