How Are You?
***Daily Dose Of Dan***
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…
