Vague Questions
If someone asks a really vague question, it’s hard to do any better than to give a really vague answer.
For example, if someone asked me:
“How do I double my revenue?”
I might reply:
“Sell twice as much.”
Even if this answer is technically correct, it’s uselessly vague because the asker still doesn’t know what to actually do.
Here’s the thing...
If you need a specific answer, try hard to clarify your question in your own mind before asking.
BONUS: Sometimes doing this will lead to you answering it yourself.
Yours,
