ShutterstockWhile most people are seeking answers, real leaders seek questions.
An intelligent student at one of my seminars inquired, "Daniel, as a tenacious entrepreneur at a rapidly expanding company, are there any particular questions that I should be asking myself?"
Great question!
Before I became a millionaire at the age of 24, I learned to ask some serious questions that allowed me to become who I am today. Some of the questions that I had asked were not generally asked by the majority of people. Because of this, I believe that questions are the sole promotor for the mindset of any aspiring millionaire.
Questions are a way of life and those who ask them will have the most control in their lives. While most people are seeking answers, real leaders seek questions. Questions will automatically give you the right answers. However, answers may not always give you the right questions.
When someone asks a question, it’s relatively easy to discern their level of understanding and thinking. Of course, the most intelligent and powerful person will most often ask the best questions. Truly, your level of questions will determine your level of success.
“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.” - Voltaire
When it comes to becoming a millionaire, there are many questions that you should be asking. The first question is, "Why should I become a millionaire?" After all, why would you want to become a millionaire in the first place? This is a question (or answer) you should figure out for yourself.

Besides asking, “Why I should do it?” you can go on to ask more questions, such as, "How do I do it?" or, "When should I do it?" However, these questions are basic and you can ask them on your own. Here are 10 thought-provoking questions that every aspiring millionaire should ask themselves:
2. How would the person I would like to be do what I'm about to do?
One of my mentors taught me this question. What you're basically asking is, "If I were in the year 2020, would I make the decisions that I'm making right now?" This will allow you to behave like the person that you've been striving to be.
4. How would I act today if I knew that I would be getting what I want tomorrow?
We all have a deep promise within us. Some of us just need faith to activate that promise. If you were 100 percent sure of your future, how would you act if you knew that everything that you wanted will come to fruition?
6. How can I deliver more value to more people in less time?
We all know that I'm famous for asking this question. In short, ask yourself, "How do I become better to more people in the fastest way possible?" It will also help you to expand your influence. This question changed my life completely.
8. If there was one goal that I must accomplish within the next 3 months, what would it be?
Get serious with yourself and focus on the one overarching goal that you need to accomplish within the next three months. If you do, you will make tremendous strides in your life and overcome many obstacles.
10. How do I increase the quality and quantity of my work?
Getting better at what you do is only going to help those you serve. Speeding up your work (automation, mass-production, delegation, etc.) is another way to serve those people on a greater scale with your excellent product or service.
More Questions to Consider:
What did I want that I didn't ask for today?
What would I do if I knew I could not fail?
What must I do to love all of the people I meet?
What is the best use of my time right now?
What do I want my attitude to be right now?
How do I do what I'm currently doing on a massive scale?
What is my life mission? What exactly was I born to do?
What am I not doing right now that is very easy to do?
