Charlon Bobo   How To Ask The Right Questions So You Get The Information You Need To Thrive in Business

Ask
Have you ever been in a situation in which you didn't know the right questions to ask to get the answers you need to move ahead in a new, smart, strategic direction?

I know, it's frustrating, and the process consumes precious resources of time, energy and money.


When hiring experts to help you grow your business, these 6 tips will make the process easier if you implement them beforehand:
  1. Educate yourself with a variety of online resources.
  2. Learn the language so - even marginally - you can speak the industry lingo and understand it.
  3. Be clear on your overall long-term objectives.
  4. Be clear on your short-term objectives and how this fits into the grand vision of your business.
  5. Have a very short explanation prepared of your
    • business.
    • target market.
    • why you require services.
    • how you think they can help you.
  6. Learn as much as you can about the individual via online searches.

These pointers ensure your questions are clear so you get the information you need. This powerfully positions you to incorporate the information into your plan of implementation and experience growth, as a direct result.

From the Editor's Desk
Charlon Bobo   The importance of daily rituals CharlonHead


My morning routine involves walking along a streamside path in the forest. Then it's on to yoga in the park. After that I head home for a shower and finish preparing myself for the day.

It's not something I think about. It's simply a habit.

It brings me comfort to do this every day. The experience breaks my night and ceremoniously ushers in a new day. It clears my mind. It gives my lungs fresh air. It is my exercise regimen and connects me to nature and Source.

Daily rituals give us the foundation when all else might be in flux. They make us feel something is in our control and within our ability to impact... no matter what else is going on in our busy lives.

If you don't have one, establish one ritual you perform every day that's just for your benefit -- preferably upon waking, as this sets the tone for your entire day.

In Sisterhood, Light & Love,
