I Ask Myself These 7 Power Questions Today

Questions are the answers, and smart people don't ask smart questions but empowering questions, questions that give you more power.

So on this first day of 2017, I ask myself these 7 powerful questions:

Do you truly want 2017 to be better than 2016? If so, do you have the plans to make it happen?
Are you committed to doing things that you find uncomfortable, but will bring you results for 2017?
Are you working on strategic opportunities, or are you still looking out for transactional opportunities?
Is your boss going to help you get what you want? Can you ask your boss for more? If you are the boss, is your team helping you to achieve your goals? Can you get better team and ask for more results from them?
Are you resolved to spend your valuable time and resources with truly good opportunities for improvement?
Will you listen more to your customers, your boss, your colleagues, your vendors and people that will help you in your work? Will you engage them with questions, rather than try to prove your capabilities with your wonderful knowledge?
Will 2017 be the same as 2016? or Worse that 2016? It all depends on what you have set yourself up to. For me, 2017 will be a big jump from 2016, because the seeds that I planted in 2016 will begin to see fruits in 2017 and beyond. Like going to China, Cambodia, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia for training and consulting projects. Related articles:

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow! What a powerful phrase! If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you. This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).
