If I am honest it was my niece who made me realised I didnt fully appreciate what each and every one of us has to contribute to a team. She asked a question that had an obvious answer and we, as a family, debated the correct answer. The discussion became quite heated as she sat quietly observing our reaction (she was studying law at the time). Then the penny dropped, it wasnt relevant that there was an obvious answer it was an exercise in listening and working as a team.

I decided to look up philosophy on the internet and when I realised the written work of Plato was based on his teachers verbal communications I swapped philosopher to Socrates.

Having read at length about his life I finally understood why a simple question can captivate an audience. Socrates claimed to know nothing. He would answer a question with a question, thus stimulating the minds of his 'students' to give a variety of responses and possible outcomes.  

Is it possible to teach by asking questions? If you try this experiment you may be pleasantly surprised and motivated to use this as a method of breathing new life into stale business ideas.

Why do you want to succeed in business? I disagree with the answer you have given, there must be more to your reason than that.

How badly to you want your business to reach out via the www? Nope, not good enough, convince me.

How do you define taking a risk? Really, is that the furthest you would go to succeed.

Is it possible to reach out to a wider audience? How?

What is failure? Failure does not exist. If you disagree prove me wrong but you must agree to one condition: You are not allowed to give up trying.

MOAP is your platform, use it wisely by asking questions and succeeding.
