Do you spend time every single day thinking about the big question? Do you know what the big question is? I do. At least I know it for myself. A big question is simply something that arouses curiosity in yourself, something that's a challenge, something you want to learn more about, something you want to go deep in. For years, for decades, my big question was, how can I? And how can I help other people speak more effectively and communicate more effectively? Two years ago, I switched my big question of the day and I switched it to how can I have better daily habits in all spheres of life? How can I help other people have better habits? And when you have one big question, you think about at least a little bit every single day. You grow. You learn more. In that two years, I now have hundreds of thousands of students for my habits courses. It's reoriented my entire business and my life. You need a question of the day that works for you.
