Mentorship Monday: The Power of Asking Better Questions

# The Power of Asking Better Questions As entrepreneurs and business leaders, we often get caught up in finding answers. But what if the real breakthrough lies in asking better questions? ## Why Questions Matter More Than Answers In my years of consulting with small business owners, I've noticed a pattern: the most successful leaders aren't necessarily the ones with all the answers. They're the ones who ask the right questions. **Instead of asking "Why isn't this working?"** Try asking "What would need to be true for this to work?" **Instead of asking "How can I cut costs?"** Try asking "How can I create more value?" **Instead of asking "Why don't my employees care?"** Try asking "What environment would make my team thrive?" ## The Reframe Exercise This week, I challenge you to take your biggest business problem and reframe it as an opportunity question. Write down your current frustration, then transform it into a "How might we..." question. For example: - Frustration: "I can't find good employees" - Reframe: "How might we become the employer of choice in our industry?" ## Your Action Step Before our next Mentorship Monday, identify three questions you've been asking that might be limiting your thinking. Reframe each one and notice how your perspective shifts. Remember: The question you ask determines the answer you'll find. --- *Ready to transform your business thinking?
