Boys,
I'm often reminded about a super power I've learned over the years that has given me more opportunities and awesome relationships than I could've ever imagine. That super power is:
Asking. Questions. And Listening.
Now, I want you to ask yourself: what makes that a superpower? How do I feel when people ask me genuine questions and actually LISTEN to what I have to say?
I'm not sure about you, but I can speak for myself.
It makes me feel heard. Understood. Listened to. Appreciated. Pretty awesome.
And I'm sure many others feel the same way.
I've been in rooms that I should've never been a part of, had opportunities I've never should've had access to, and become friends with people I never should've met.
All because I was genuinely curious, asked lots of questions, and listened to their answers.
So, what actually happened to my life as a result?
- All my opportunities I have today.
- My friendships with millionaires, even billionaires (search up the founder of Kinkos :)).
- My business opportunities, whether it be a fitness personal training company, an online training company, a marketing agency, an Amazon FBA brand, managing $40 million for a hedge fund, and knowing I'll never have to worry about getting a great job again...
- Great relationships with my friends and families.
- Learning lessons from pretty awesome people, including you!
I can't stress enough the importance of constantly developing this skill, especially because there's levels to it and you can always be better. I know I can.
Do me a big favor and read a book called: How to Win Friends and Influence People. Let me know if you want a copy, and I'll lend you one. It will change your life.
