WHAT?
Like the average man, I’m always looking for the “secret” of why a small percentage of men are successful. There are tons of books that all promise to have the secret. But I finally discovered the best way to figure out why a man is successful is to simply ask him. So I started meeting with men who are succeeding in life and asking them how they do it.
SO WHAT?
Here’s the thing, I discovered most successful men are happy to talk to you. In fact, they are just waiting for you to ask. I also found the one unbreakable rule, don’t waste their time. Show up prepared; even better, send them a list of questions you’d like them to answer.
NOW WHAT?
So I came up with five questions that enable me to extract as much wisdom as possible when I get a chance to talk to a successful man
- Who taught you the most about being a man, and what did they teach you?
- What has surprised you the most in life?
- What advice would you give to 18 year old you?
- How do you manage your time?
- How do you manage your money?
I’ve asked lots of successful men these questions on a podcast I used to do.
