Morning Motivator - Right Things, Right Time

"The right questions would lead us to the right things to measure at the right time."
- Patrick Thean, Author of "Execute Without Drama™"

How often has someone, out of FRUSTRATION, asked you, "What am I doing wrong?" Often this is a question DRIVEN from consistent LACKLUSTER results derived from HIGH efforts. We have all been there...

A GOOD response to this question is, "What are you SEEKING to achieve?"

The BEST response is, "Are you asking the RIGHT questions of yourself to achieve that goal?"

Consistently, COMPLAINTS are a request for relief. The person asking is NOT looking for you to help, rather, your SOLUTION. It is becoming less COMMON that people are requesting candid advice, as opposed to seeking a "bail out" through your EXPERTISE.

Learning WHAT questions to ask to measure the results you are SEEKING is critical. Knowing WHY you are seeking those results may be even more...

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
As we seek SUCCESS in our personal and professional lives, we often STUMBLE through challenging times of growth and frustration. We have 2 choices on how to get beyond the "sticking point":
1. Power through it by continuing to output high level ACTIVITY. You don't have to do any analysis... just keep HUSTLING!
2. EXAMINE your actions and results. Seek inefficiencies and gaps in "expected results" from "given efforts."

If you decide on #2 - do NOT expect that the "magic bullet" will be easy to find. HOWEVER, if you do decide to spend the TIME to better your processes by asking and examining the right QUESTIONS, you can EXPECT to see great returns once you determine the "best path."

Right?

Cheers,
Zach
