50 Power Questions


These 50 Power Questions are examples of questions I may ask clients to clearly define what they desire when setting goals.
They identify what you would like to achieve, what actions need to be put in place and how you can build on each outcome to ensure positive momentum is maintained.
Use these Power Questions to start progressing towards any goal you wish to achieve NOW.

20 Questions to Define your Goals:
  • If you were to FULLY live your life, what is the first change you would start to make?
  • What areas of your life could be upgraded/tweaked?
  • What could you work on now that would make the biggest difference to your life?
  • How would you feel about doubling that goal?
  • What are you tolerating/putting up with?
  • What do you want MORE of in your life? (Make a list)
  • What do you want LESS of in your life? (Make a list)
  • What are three things you are doing regularly that don't serve or support you?
  • How could you make this goal more specific or measurable?
  • What would be the biggest impact from achieving your goal(s)?
  • What would you try now if you knew you could not fail?
  • How can we make this something you're aiming towards, rather than something you're trying to move away from?
  • What do you love?
  • What do you hate?
  • What's one thing you would love to do before you die?
  • Is now the right time for you to make a commitment to achieving these goals?

  • For your life to be perfect, what would have to change?
  • What do you really, really want?
  • What's one change you could make to your lifestyle that would give you more peace?
Once you are completely clear on which goals you would like to achieve, what are you going to do?

10 Power Questions to Initiate Action
  • What's the first/next step?
  • What research could you do to help you find the first (or next) step?
  • Who could you talk to who would illuminate this issue?
  • Who should you be hanging out with - so that achieving this goal becomes natural (ie. who's already doing it?)
  • How can you get the knowledge/information you need?
  • What are three actions you could take that would make sense this week?
  • On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited do you feel about taking these actions?

  • What would Tony Robbins do in this situation? What would "massive action" look like?
