Truth behind Extraordinary Results and Success Part-8
The path to great Answers:
"People don't decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures".
F. M. Alexander
Recently i have red a book
"The One Thing" by Gerry Keller with Jay Papasan.
"It is such a great book for getting extraordinary results".
I hope you will read this book.
- Ask a Great Question:
The focusing Question helps you ask a great question.
Great Questions, like great goals, are big and specific.
They push you, stretch you, and aim you at big, specific answers and because they're framed to be measureable,
There's no wiggle room about what the results will look like.
Look at the "Great Question" matrix to see the power of the Focusing question.
Let's take increasing sales as a way to break down each of the quadrants, using "what can i do to double sales in six months?
Now, let's examine the pros and cons of each question quadrant, ending with where you want to be-big & specific.
Quadrant 4 Small & Specific:
What i can do to increase sales by 5% this year?
This aims you in a specific direction.
Quadrant 3 Small and Broad:
"What can i do to increase sales?
This is not really an achievement quesion at all.
It is more of a brainstorming quesion. It is great for listining your option but requires more to narrow your options and go small.
Quadrant 2 Big and broad:
What can i do to double sale?. Here you have a big question, but nothing specific. It is a good start, but the lack of specifics leaves more questions than answers.
Quadrant 1 Big and Specific:
What can i do to double sales in six months?
Now you have all the elements of a great question.
It's a big goal and it's specific.
You are doubling sales, and that is not easy.
You also have a time frame of six months, which will be a challenge.
You'll need a big answer.
2 Find a great Answer:
The challenge of asking a great quesion, once you have asked it, you are now faced with finding a great answer.
"High Achievers understand these first two routes but reject them. Unwilling to settle for ordinary when extraordinary is possible, they have asked a great question and want the very best answer.
Extraordinary results require a Great answer.
"High Successful people choose to live at the outer limits of achievement.
Thanks for your precious time.
