Asking the tough questions when it wasn’t popular to do so........
Riddle me this.......
My attorney handles that……
My accountant handles that……
My business coach handles that…….
You might be thinking, what do these professionals actually HANDLE?
💡 Now, let’s consider comparing this to 3 of the most popular and frequent types of HANDLES that people use daily in life!!
🔴PULL HANDLE---- used to access refrigerator, cabinet, and open a door!
🔴PUSH HANDLE---- flush a toilet, start the washing machine and open a door!
🔴LEVER HANDLE ---- typically found in the shower or a facet to access water!
What do all 3 have in common? Two-letter word and handle!
🟢What distinctively is different?
Would you AGREE that the LEVER requires more action thought than the other two (PULL & PUSH)? No?! Why is that so?
Allow me to explain.
The cognitive brain was trained to learn the meaning of ....
PUSH and PULL. Automatically when seeing these identifiers, the brain reacts subconsciously through a non-thought action!
We often do these actions of PUSH & PULL throughout the day without thinking about it. (open the fridge door, flush the toilet, etc.)
💡 Now, let’s consider a non-thought action approach with the three professionals mentioned earlier and observe a consequence.
🚫 Don’t wait until you get a company or business audit to start asking the tough questions!
🚫 Don’t wait until you receive a penalty from the IRS to start the inquiries!
🚫 Don’t wait for the burning fire before taking action!
💡 Now, let’s consider two choices for taking preventative action through a thought-provoking TAKE ACTION approach…..YOU have two options; Door #1 and Door #2!
❓Door 1 – the simple approach! The 5 WHY strategy is a simple yet, powerful tool; regardless of age, industry, or experience, the metric is not biased by any means. This originated in the 1930s and was developed by Sakichi Toyoda, founder of Toyota Motor Corporation.
WHY❓ WHY❓ WHY❓ WHY❓ WHY❓
OR
❓Door 2 - spend time researching, connecting next with w/resources to ask the tough clarifying questions!!!
🟢You can’t go wrong with either door; you just have to WILLING to take action by TURNING the k**b to open the door!
If you made it this far, you are inquisitive and willing to ask questions.
Please DM or reach out 🤳🏽if needing support or guidance in the question framework! 🤝
PS>Which door did you end up choosing?
