The ‘tag line’ for my business is: Queen ‘B’ of doing Business Better.  It really seemed to sum of my thoughts and desires for going into the business of bookkeeping.  It’s quite catchy which helps to attract new clients.   Every woman loves the title of Queen and aspires to be the Queen of the home, Queen of her man’s life and the Queen of her children.  That’s not the only way I describe myself as a Queen.   I also refer to myself as the Queen of Questions.

I am a firm believer of asking questions.  Questions provide clarity.   Whether you are trying to help someone with a problem or if you are doing business, questions bring clarity.  The English language is the only language so easily misinterpreted.  Every culture has its own twist on it.  Some cultures shorten the language, rearrange the alphabet for convince.  Young people use letters only for the purpose of ‘twitter’ and just texting.  Men and women have never spoken the same language even if they both speak English.   A man can say one thing and mean something quite different and vice versa for women.  Remember, communication has not occurred until what was said has been understood.  This doesn’t happen so easily for men and women.   What’s the point of all this?  Questions can be and is, the difference between two people talking and communication occurring.

Time can be saved, money saved, confusion lessen if people asked questions.  Instead of jumping in to do what you think, ask what’s needed.  Instead of assuming, instead of being mad during or after an argument or statement, ask a question.  Ever try helping someone and the entire time feel you are fighting an uphill battle?  Ask a question!  Many are the people who seek help but really mean that they desire a personal corner of cheerleaders, people to answer to their beck and call and people to hear all their problems.  Before you jump in to save a drowning person, ask them, in the end what do you desire?  What’s your goal?  Asking questions brings clarity.  It’s the difference between giving someone something you want them to have and giving them what they need, desire and/or want.

Sometimes you should ask questions to and of yourself.  Have you ever done something and it turned out differently than you expected?  Have you failed in area and are unsure why?  REFLECT by asking questions.  Did you do it for the right reason?  Did you move in the right season?  Did you give people what you wanted them to have and get upset because they didn’t like it?  What’s your motive for discussing an idea or topic?  What results do you desire to gain from an argument; resolution or dissolve?  Questions can lead one to real solutions and provide direction for effective communication to occur.

There is wisdom in being the “King or Queen” of Questions…………………..
