How are you?

Such a simple thing to say yet you know what most people say

Fine thanks

Fine

Hmmm

I spoke to someone today who I asked exactly that

How are you?

Fine was their reply

Knowing this person as I do, and know they had been going through some shit lately; I pressed on

No, really HOW are you…

Then they proceeded to tell me their woes, I happily listened, and they now fee better for habit. Someone they could talk to about it

Do you have someone in your life you should be asking this?

Do you do a lot of 121 work or coaching

Maybe ask

Email list or group – actually give a shit?

Copy this post and ask them

How are you? Is there anything I can do for you?

(You want to bond with your audience? If you mean it I have just given you a fucking huge golden nugget right there)

Do you see how many of you take ‘fine’ on face value?

It’s no different at all for your clients; for all you know you are delivering a top-notch service to the best of your abilities

You ask them for feedback

Yep, everything’s great – fine thank you

But what if they just like you and don’t want to hurt your feelings?

I know because this has happened to me

(And was the cause of my faux heart attack outside Buckingham palace last year)

Take time to speak to your spouse, loved one, clients, colleagues, friends and those you work with

How
Are
You

Simple isn’t it

I also extend the same to you

How are you?

If you feel like you need someone to chat to, I’m in all night playing DOOM and inbetween blowing the fucking faces off demon spawn (I killed one with its own arm), I’ll be pottering about on here

Hope you are having a great Saturday, heck even better a great week

But if you’re just ‘fine’

Say something 🙂

Doesn’t have to be me, but really I speak to so many people who DONT talk about things when the wheels are wobbling – that shit will simply fuck you up

Right, I just unlocked the super shotgun, Mars awaits…
