“Asking uncomfortable questions leads to enduring personal and professional growth.”

The 6th chapter of our new members-only book, "The MasterPlan. Next Level," has been released. It is available exclusively within the Strategy Control Room (Advanced Level).

In this chapter, we explore key questions you need to ask yourself as you are putting together your MasterPlan. We covered some crucial areas including:

- What many successful clients struggle with behind closed doors (page 81)
- The key components of the MasterPlan (page 83)
- A core set of questions that must be answered as part of developing your MasterPlan (page 84)
- The most important question you need to ask about your marriage (page 84)
- You can build the best MasterPlan in the world, but the answer to this one question will determine if you will be able to implement it or not (page 85)
- Why do some people always end up at the top even if you place them in a new city with no money and ask them to rebuild their life from scratch, and some people always end up at the bottom even if you give them a million dollars and the most enjoyable well-paid job (page 86) 
- A question that will help you put a stop to people crossing all kinds of boundaries with you (page 86)
- The central challenge you face as you are building and implementing your MasterPlan (page 87)
