ASKING QUESTIONS vs HAVING ANSWERS
Is one more important than the other?
And…
Asking the ‘right’ questions…
Do I need to be right?
Would I rather be happy?
What is ‘right’?
Who has the ‘right’ answer(s)?
What do I believe to be true?
How do I know it is true?
Uhmmm
Things that make me go Uhmm…
What makes you go Uhmm?*
What questions do you ponder in a quiet moment? ??
* Those who’ve followed this column for a while will know my love of music. Especially as I run. Which is why I incorporate it into my reflections here. For the reference here, I am reminded of the 1991 C+C Factory classic pop tune ??: Things That Make You Go HMMM ??
This is your reminder to build your business as an asset!?

6 个月I love your running reflections Colleen. I think questions are more important than the answer, as they help us to get curious and to clarify.?I run with a partner, so my runs are about connecting and being social. But when I walk my dog three times a day I ponder. This morning I was asking myself about what is important to me in my business? When I got home I wrote these notes: “I want to express my inner self through my art. Use my voice (my art, my podcast, my wearable art clothing line, my one to one work) to inspire other women to find their voice and be wild with purpose. I want to find women with means to buy my art and clothing. Women who resonate with the renegade, rock your midlife vibe and are highly motivated to make a change.” If you have any connections to individuals or organizations you think I should connect with, I’d appreciate an email or Zoom introduction. Thanks so much for listening. Have a great day.
