Ask the 5 why’s to get to the bottom of anything whether it’s business related, personal or a belief that needs questioning…
I think it’s a solid technique to get the info you need and then work on it from there couple of examples below…
Scene :
Dave kicked off at John at work and he keeps kicking off every Friday morning like clock work
His boss wanted to find out why coz when he would ask Dave once nothing ever came from it
SO he started with the 5 why’s ⬇️🤯
Boss ⬇️
Dave (why) do you kick off on a Friday morning I can’t have this weekly!?
Dave ⬇️
I don’t know I’m just tired and fuming
Boss⬇️
But (why)?
Dave ⬇️
My flat mate makes me sit up and have a drink and watch the game every Thursday night
Boss ⬇️
But (why) would that make you tired
Dave⬇️
Because I drink too much on a Thursday with the stress of Nan too and stay up later
Boss ⬇️
Then (why) do you keep doing it Dave
Dave ⬇️
Because I don’t wanna annoy him he’s also the landlord and I need this place to live
Boss⬇️
But why can’t you just find another place there must be cheaper places just move out further you don’t have kids or a partner what’s the issue
Dave ⬇️
I can’t loose this place my Nan lives around the corner and all the rest of the family live far away I check on her daily and take her food
Conclusion 🤌🏼
Dave is actually aggy every Friday because he believes he is in a predicament and has to stay where he is to afford to live to look after his Nan because no one else can and because of the stress of that he drinks too much on that Thursday and the cycle continues !!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Now they know why can boss help Dave and Dave help himself
Find a cheaper place maybe with someone’s help? Be allowed to work from home some days to take the pressure off? Learn how to communicate with his flat mate/ landlord and say no etc etc
⭐️I’ve tried it on a few things now and it’s mad how something can be related to even just a sentence someone once said !
Find a sticking point or what you think is a downfall in your behaviour and ask why till I get to the root ❤️
Awareness is the beginning of change 🙌🏼
