How Can I Help You?

Published by Kenneth

Hello again!

While I was sitting down and thinking of what cool content that I could pass onto you in order to help you on your success journey, it came to me that instead of assuming the type of content and subjects that would be beneficial to you, I needed to simply ask you what content and subjects you would like to see that would be helpful to you!

We are all on different journeys and paths to success. Some of you are building a storefront business while some are building an internet or network marketing business, and still some of you are working your way up the corporate ranks in your career. All of those options are commendable. I think the one thing that we all have in common is that we want to be successful at something and make an impact on other people and in the world. Am I correct? Let’s face it, you did not end up on my blog if you are average or if you are looking to get out of the mediocrity mode! The average person does not subscribe or read content that is put out by an author who’s blog is titled: Get Motivated For Success!

So, I am asking for your help and feedback….

What are some topics or subjects that you would like more coaching or input on? What areas of your life are you looking to improve on that you have not been able to find elsewhere? Are you looking for success principles that you can use for your business or career? Do you want advice or direction on how to develop better relationships, both personal and business? Would you like to learn how to become a better “people person” or a better networker? These are all just ideas that I am throwing out to you to get the brain juices flowing!

I appreciate the fact that you have visited my blog and, quite possibly, have already subscribed to one of my free offers. Therefore, I want to give you valuable content that will benefit you now and in the future!

Please comment or share your thoughts below on how I can help you and increase the value that you will receive by being a regular reader of my blog! All of your thoughts and ideas are important because there are other people out there who have some of the same fears, doubts, dreams and needs that you have.

Ready, Set, Share…!

To Your Success

Ask Why

The Most Important Question Ever

Published by Kenneth

I was reminded about a key question on how to better connect with people a couple days ago and wanted to share it with you. It is always good to be reminded of things that can truly help you become successful when dealing with people! As you hopefully already know, people are mainly interested in only themselves and therefore, like to talk about themselves. A good conversationalist understands this and gets people to talk about themselves as a means of better connecting with them. There is, however, another type of question that you can ask people that will help you get to know them on a much deeper level rather than typical water cooler, basic conversational talk.

If you are meeting someone for the first time (or even know them on some level) and would like to find out more about them and get to know them better, there is a key question that you should ask them. For the most part, a conversation might take the form of if they live around the area or what kind of work they do. You might even talk to them about hobbies that they have, etc. Usually you will get a very general answer such as, I live over in _____ town, I work as a computer networker, or I like to play golf, etc. This is logical yes or no information. In order to really connect with someone, it doesn’t help to just know logical information about them. You will want to gain emotional information from them. What I mean by emotional information is information given by someone that has feelings or desires attached to it. How do you obtain emotional information from somebody that you just met or know on a very basic level? Very simple, ask the question: WHY?

Yes, it is that easy! When you as the question, “Why,” the individual will give you insight as to what kind of person they are. For example, let’s say you ask someone what kind of work they do. They answer that they are in computer networking. You could leave it at that and go on to ask another question, or you can dig a little deeper by asking why they chose computer networking as a profession. This will cause them to give you some additional insight into their personalities, likes, goals, dreams, etc. Do you see how this is more of an emotional answer that will help you to connect with them rather than the typical answers? If they say something like they got in that field because they already know computers and didn’t need to learn a lot, you can gain some insight about this person. If they said the same thing but they are working in computer networking for now to pay the bills but are really excited about another project that they have going on outside of work, you would get another perspective on the person and their ambition level. You got this insight all by just asking the question “WHY?” Keep in mind, this is just one example. I could give you hundreds more!

By asking people why they like or do something is a great way to learn more about the people that you are connecting with. This is how great friendships and business relationships can start. You have to be the person to ask the right questions to extract the information that will help to move the relationship further.
