Is there value in the challenges that life offer us?

Do you learn and grow from the problems in your life?

I believe learning is one of the keys to being a valued person, both personal and in business. If we don’t consciously learn, we are doomed. I say that because if you aren’t learning and growing you are no better than you were before. Who wants to be the type of person that does not develop and grow?

What can you do today that will help you learn, develop and grow as a person?

Do you ask ‘why’ enough times in your business?

For example do you ask ‘why’ when an order does not get delivered on time.

I know that it is so easy not to ask ‘why’. 

Let's work with the example; an order did not get delivered on time. If you don’t ask ‘why’ how are you going to find out where the challenge took place? What if it was that one person is not on speaking terms with another person and they need to be in continuous communication in order to make everything work smoothly?

That simple question may have solved a concern that could have become a massive problem for your business.

Never ever be afraid of asking the question why. In fact when you get an answer, if you ask at least one or two follow-up questions and you will find out more answers that will help. This way you can get into the mindsets of people and open up communication.

When are you going to start asking ‘why’ to improve your business?

Do you feel unappreciated, frustrated and underutilized?

Is this something that ruins your days?

This happens to everyone one of us on an inconsistent basis. The challenge for us is that we have let others opinions of us control how we feel about our lives. I used the word challenge, but the word should have been problem. We have created our own problem and now we are sitting in the middle of it.

Yes, we need to get feedback from others, but we surely don’t need to accept their opinions as the gospel truth, do we?

Life is a balance, so when are you going to get more balance in your life and not accept whole-heartedly others opinions of you?

When are you going to start showing that your life has meaning?
