Don’t overwhelm your consultant by asking all twenty questions at one time. Instead, find suitable times to naturally weave the questions into your normal conversations. You may even send an email to ask one specific question each week or each month. Take time to digest the responses that you receive and to utilize the answers to your life if appropriate.

Remember, the only mute question is the question that is not asked. Take vantage of the experience and clear or deep perception that your consultant has to offer. If you are not experiencing success in your life, then there is something that you do not know. Find Out!! Ask your mentor!
