Welcome to Episode 277 of Monday Morning Pep Talk. This week is about clarity — how to find it faster and use it with purpose.

For over a decade, I’ve been disciplined about planning and goal setting. But even with structure, I sometimes struggled to lock into clarity during my daily and weekly sessions. I was asking good questions — but not the right one.

👉 Then I found it — a question that now anchors my daily, weekly, and quarterly rhythm.

🧠 The Power of the Right Question:

📌 “If I were looking back on today/week/quarter, what would have to have happened — personally and professionally — for me to feel like I made meaningful progress?”

Simple. Practical. A sledgehammer for focus.

📆 Daily | 🗓 Weekly | 📊 Quarterly

This mindset — rooted in the 3-Year Vision philosophy from Strategic Coach — creates clarity that compounds over time. I break it all down in this episode and show you how to apply it across your entire business.

💼 For You, the Advisor: • Your outreach feels scattered

• You're not sure where to start reconnecting

• Your pipeline needs energy — and momentum

You don’t need to do more. You need to start with better questions — to yourself and to your clients.

🔁 Your Reconnection Strategy:

✅ Leave a message or text: “I have a quick market update I think you’ll want to hear. Call me when you have a minute.”

✅ When they call back, say: “It’s been five years since COVID shifted the market. Based on the data, your home is likely worth between X and Y.”

✅ Then ask: “How is your home performing for you?”

That single question opens the door to meaningful conversations — without sounding like a salesperson. Listen for life changes, log notes, follow up. Repeat across your Top 100.

🧘‍♂️ Composure isn’t passive. It’s practiced.

🛠️ This Episode Will Help You:

✅ Ask the right questions to unlock clarity

✅ Build a repeatable reconnection framework

✅ Turn small daily wins into quarterly momentum

✅ Reset your mindset with one powerful question

✅ Strengthen consistency — even during busy seasons

💬 Ask Yourself:

Are you taking time to plan with intention?

Are you clear on what “progress” looks like today?

Are you showing up strong — or stuck in the noise?

📈 The momentum you want is on the other side of better questions.
