The Question That Changes Everything

If you and I are having this conversation a year from now and we're looking back at the last 12 months, what specifically has to happen for you to be happy with your progress? My favorite question. I learned it from Dan Sullivan at Strategic Coach. I asked everybody this question when I interviewed them. I asked my clients this now. Again, if you and I are having a conversation a year from now and we're looking back at the past 12 months, what specifically has to happen for you in order for you to be happy with your progress? And what's incredible when I ask the question are how many people can't answer it and they sit back and they say it's a good question and they come up with a couple of answers. And then you have some people who literally could just go on and on. They just know, you know, and it's like that visionary ability to be able to like see out in the future and know that these are all the things that have to happen. And there's, there's definitely a unique ability in being able to do that. And so if you can't do that, it's worth taking time to slow down and write it out. And think about and be deliberate about what has to happen so you can see that, so you can put a plan together. But ask this question, ask it with people you meet, ask the people you're interviewing. You can't go wrong. And it tells you so much about a person when you hear their answer.
