  Speaker 1: Hey, look forward to seeing you at the summit.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Today I want to talk to you about the evolution of questions in your life.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: One of the things that you need to become better at is asking the right questions.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Some of that comes down to learning, so you got to have a good mentor.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You got to know which.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: That's going to come down to the quality or knowledge.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: The quality of knowledge is going to allow you to ask better questions.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So, if you really want to ask better questions, get a better mentor.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You won't get a better mentor.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You're going to get better knowledge.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Better knowledge is going to allow you to ask better questions.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But let me give you an example of an evolution of a question over the period of your business career.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So maybe when you start out in business maybe you're by yourself, maybe you don't have a lot of team members you start out with the question how can I?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So there's a task, there's a goal how can I accomplish this goal?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, that's a great question in the beginning, and then it becomes a better question.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Might be because it's hard to do anything by yourself in life and in business.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You just can't do this stuff by yourself.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So a better question might be how can we do the thing?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: How can we do whatever it is to achieve the goal, whatever it is?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, an even better question might be who can I get to help me do the thing?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Let me take it to another level.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Another level would be who is the best person that I could assign to do this thing?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: The next level who can I hire to do this thing?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Because we maybe don't have anybody in the business who can do it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I need to hire somebody to do the thing.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And if you take it even to an ultimate level, it's what can I buy?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: What company could I buy that could accomplish the thing that I want to accomplish?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: What do I need to start?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: What kind of company do we need to buy?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Because if you buy a company, you get a whole bunch of people.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Can you see how the question got better?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: It went from how can I?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: To we, to who, to how can we accomplish it?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Who's the best person?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Who can I hire to?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, why don't I just buy a company to do it?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So if you'd like to evolve your questions, if you'd like to get better at questions, if you'd like to figure out how to get yourself from how can I do it to how can I buy companies to do it.
• 4:47

• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about asking the better question next time.
• 5:30
