Asking Intelligent Questions: What Are You Really Passionate About?

Think about this for a moment or two. What if everyone on the planet took more time to ask intelligent questions? How much better could the world be? What if every sales person asked more intelligent questions? What if I asked better questions of my teenage sons? What if we asked more intelligent questions about what other people want instead of what we want?

Start making the time to record your most intelligent questions. I just offered five solid ones. Start there. Or ask, "What do I really want?" Then ask, "What will I need to sacrifice to get it?" Sorry, but that's an important follow up question to the first.

Here's one of my favorites. What are you really passionate about?

Great issue - after all, the answer is always in the question! For my small business clients - and myself at times - I ask the following two questions: "What is the vision for your life?" and "How can your business serve that vision?"

Those two questions, while often creating anxiety about the "figuring out part" and disbelief that it can be done, leads my clients to new discoveries, systems and strategies. Powerful things...questions.

As for my passion - helping others succeed through providing systems, strategies and implementation that works. I want all of the people in my life - clients, friends, family, even the local drycleaner, to experience the absolutely best life they can professionally, personally and spiritually.

Thanks for the contribution Megan. Sounds like you share the same passion that I and the other BusinessCoach.com coaches have for serving entrepreneurs. I was listening to a Bryan Tracy program the other day and he stated that if he asked a room of people to list their top ten goals in 60 seconds or less, a shocking number of people wouldn't be able to do it. So inspiring our clients to take time to even discuss vision is a big deal. It's the starting point for the goal achieving we work towards.
