A brave question to ask

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

Go to someone who has had lots of life experience, has their stuff together, is successful and knows you well.

Ask “I want you to tell me honestly what I can do better with my thoughts, actions, and character so I can be a better more able and productive person and show up better for other people.”

Most people shun genuine feedback.  Most people don’t want to hear it.

Ask and listen and don’t defend yourself.  We are programmed for pain avoidance.  When it hurts your ego, you may be making some real progress and change the direction of a few things because you want to avoid that pain again.

Are you brave enough to ask a few people this question?
