G'day I just wanted to reach out today
and talk about well I think it's an
epidemic globally and that is people's
health people's mental health... a lot
of people in the community are struggling
and a lot of people are under financial
pressure I've certainly been there myself
and people can get quite desperate like
I've said previously one of the reasons
I got into online marketing is I was
under some significant financial
pressure and quite concerned about my
long-term future particularly since
going through a divorce and having to sell
my property assets but I'd like to
encourage you to reach out to people and
ask them how they're actually doing
because one of the problems we've got is
that people mostly males are very good
at deflecting their true feelings and
what I'd encourage you to do next time
you ask someone how they're doing and
rather than when they more than likely
if you're an Aussie would say yeah yeah
not bad yeah I'm okay is actually
probe a little deeper and how can we do that?
So what I've been taught to do is ask
people on a scale of one to ten how
they're doing if zero was really
ordinary ten was fantastic ask that
question so how's your day going on a
scale of one to ten and if they say oh
mate it's actually only a two, oh what makes it a two? - oh what you're
doing is you're drawing out your you're
encouraging them to share with you so
what would it take for it to be an eight?
and have you ever had a day that was an
eight? and what did that day look like? and
it's really about hopefully getting them to
a point where they can have an ideal day
so please take care out there in the
community I was just at a business
breakfast this morning
one of the chaps got up and everyone's
got 45 seconds to talk about their
business and he said I'm not going he's
actually a professional coach a life
coach and a business coach and he said
I'm not going to talk about that today I
wanted to share with you the guy was in
tears he said are one of my really close
mates committed suicide over the weekend
so please I guess I'm imploring in
today's that there's a lot of people out there that are hurting and
they're very good at masking their true
feelings so it doesn't hurt to ask a few
extra questions on a scale of one to ten
how are you doing? I think you know
they'll probably be quite thankful to be
able to unload the burden so to speak
take care have a really good Thursday
and bye for now.
