00:01:53.547 --> 00:01:56.687 Win number two, something a client recently asked. 00:01:57.087 --> 00:01:59.907 This question came up in a business coaching group. 00:01:59.937 --> 00:02:01.467 I lead called a mastermind. 00:02:01.677 --> 00:02:03.027 The question was posed. 00:02:03.147 --> 00:02:05.877 Hey, how do I know if I'm headed in the right direction? 00:02:06.417 --> 00:02:10.317 Now I shared two paradigms to help my friend self identify 00:02:10.317 --> 00:02:11.547 where the challenge was. 00:02:11.877 --> 00:02:15.957 I asked, is this a direction problem, or a destination problem? 00:02:16.437 --> 00:02:20.667 You see a direction problem is when you have the right steps, but the wrong order. 00:02:20.827 --> 00:02:23.047 You don't get where you want to go, and that leaves you 00:02:23.047 --> 00:02:25.117 frustrated by the lack of results. 00:02:25.537 --> 00:02:30.547 Now a destination problem is where you have the right steps and the right order. 00:02:30.667 --> 00:02:33.697 But they're based on the wrong reasons or the wrong motives. 00:02:33.847 --> 00:02:37.867 What happens is you get somewhere, but you don't like the destination and 00:02:37.867 --> 00:02:40.207 that leaves you filled with regret. 00:02:40.607 --> 00:02:45.077 What's your challenge, as you think about your business in the coming year, is it 00:02:45.077 --> 00:02:49.787 a direction problem, the right steps in the wrong order or a destination problem-- 00:02:49.847 --> 00:02:53.687 you know, the steps, but you're not sure that's where you want to wind up. 00:02:53.688 --> 00:02:55.512 Win number three, something to think about. 00:02:55.512 --> 00:02:59.112 It's easy to think that failing when you try something in your business 00:02:59.112 --> 00:03:01.632 is way more dangerous than success. 00:03:01.632 --> 00:03:05.322 I'm very aware of my fear of failing when I try something new in my 00:03:05.322 --> 00:03:09.972 business, but I give very little thought to, "What happens if this thing 00:03:09.972 --> 00:03:12.432 I'm trying is actually successful?" 00:03:12.852 --> 00:03:16.812 Sometimes I need to ask the question, "What's going to happen inside of me if 00:03:16.812 --> 00:03:19.422 this thing is actually wildly successful?' 00:03:19.692 --> 00:03:22.182 So I wrote this down in my journal recently, I've come 00:03:22.182 --> 00:03:23.532 back to it several times. 00:03:23.532 --> 00:03:29.532 Quote, "It's too easy to fail while succeeding and lose while winning." 00:03:29.605 --> 00:03:31.655 Win number four, something personal. 00:03:31.655 --> 00:03:34.325 I'm prone to race into advice, giving. 00:03:34.895 --> 00:03:37.535 And think, well, that's what my clients are paying me for. 00:03:37.535 --> 00:03:38.975 And that's how I justify it. 00:03:39.425 --> 00:03:44.375 But I'm making a concerted effort to try to bite my tongue and ask more questions. 00:03:44.645 --> 00:03:47.435 And I'll have to admit it is very challenging. 00:03:47.995 --> 00:03:51.735 It is so much easier to give someone the answer; to think, 00:03:51.795 --> 00:03:55.395 "Well, aren't, they lucky to have run into me and all of my answers. 00:03:55.795 --> 00:04:00.805 " The reality is my main job is to help identify the correct problem; to help 00:04:00.805 --> 00:04:06.535 them ask the right question, to help guide someone to his or her best next step. 00:04:06.935 --> 00:04:10.775 So I'm challenging myself to ask five more questions before I back up my 00:04:10.775 --> 00:04:13.505 dump truck of advice and let it rip. 00:04:14.075 --> 00:04:15.695 I'll keep you posted how it goes. 00:04:16.095 --> 00:04:19.815 What do you do to stay more curious and give less advice on your own 00:04:19.815 --> 00:04:21.225 consulting or coaching calls?
