How Asking Better Questions Can Transform Your Results (and Have Fun Doing It)

We often ask ourselves questions like, How can I be more productive? or How do I improve my skills? But what if these questions were just the start of a more powerful approach?

When we ask better, more intentional questions, we naturally get better answers. The key lies in shifting our mindset by adding one simple phrase: "and have fun doing it."

Why does this phrase matter? Too often, we focus solely on efficiency and outcomes. But incorporating fun into our process makes us more creative, motivated, and resilient.

For example, instead of asking, "How can I grow my business?", try asking, "How can I grow my business and have fun doing it?" This slight change transforms the energy behind your approach. Suddenly, the question isn't just about success—it's about enjoying the journey.

Fun doesn’t have to mean carefree or unproductive; it can fuel innovation and problem-solving. Challenges become opportunities when you add an element of playfulness. It invites curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

Here are a few ways to incorporate this mindset:

  • Reframe Your Goals: Ask yourself how you can achieve your goals while enjoying the process.

  • Celebrate Small Wins: Taking the time to acknowledge progress can turn work into something more rewarding.

  • Infuse Creativity: Find ways to inject fun, whether through collaboration, humor, or trying new approaches.

Next time you're stuck or feeling overwhelmed, try rephrasing your question with “and have fun doing it” at the end. You'll find that your mindset shifts from one of pressure to one of possibility.

So, what will you ask yourself today... and have fun doing it?
