Tips on Asking Great Questions

Filed under: Your Success

Besides listening, asking great questions is an important part of good communication skills. Would you like to improve your ability to ask great questions? Then consider these tips:

1. Become very curious about things.
2. Keep your questions simple.
3. Have your own opinion about, or answer to, the question you are asking.
4. Watch the pros on TV, radio and in print.
5. Ask questions that you think others would like the answer to.
6. Ask questions that have obvious answers.
7. Ask what you REALLY want to know.

A Strategy for Getting Back on Your Feet

Filed under: Your Success

Once again I was asked to respond to a question posed by a reader of the Career Builder section of the Arizona Republic newspaper, in a column known as “Ask The Experts.” Following is the Q&A from that column.

Question:

I’m a retired firefighter planning to file for bankruptcy.   I have terrible credit, low income, and an intense desire to own my own business.   Are there any program options available to help me get back on my feet, go back to school for retraining or to fulfill my desire to run a business?

Answer:

The answer to all parts of your question is yes, but it will require some diligence and resourcefulness on your part.

As a starting point, I’d suggest that you set priorities based on what you need and want to occur. If you’re struggling financially, it makes sense to address that first. The City of Phoenix has a program called Phoenix Workforce Connection, which can link you to a myriad of career-related resources. You can find them at www.phoenix.gov under the “Employment” tab.

Regarding your desire to start a business, I’d recommend www.score.org to help you with the planning, financing and action steps to get a business going. Most of what they offer is free of charge.

Getting any new business financed is challenging, and more so if you have a bankruptcy. However, if your business idea is a better mousetrap, the financing just might beat a path to your door.
