The Weirdest Business Questions I’ve Been Asked Over The Years

Today I’m going to share with you the weirdest blogging and business questions I’ve been asked over the years. This one was on my mind for a while. I knew I wanted to cover it and it wasn’t until a few days ago when I was in the plane, during a flight, that I actually opened my laptop and wrote the outline. I came up with the questions because I had to recall them from back in the days. It was really fun to go down memory lane, not for the specific business questions I got, but for the fact that I feel differently about them now and I don’t get triggered at all. The confidence you form as a business owner is a lifelong journey. It can always evolve. It can always increase, of course. But I wasn’t confident in who I was and what I was doing back then and people could easily get to me. Now, not so much. Now I’m fine with the fact that they don’t really get what I do.

I don’t want to blame the economy. I shifted my focus because at some point I was too focused on some shiny objects, on creating courses and wanting to be a full-time course creator. Now I’m back to blogging, which is sort of my zone of genius. During those times of uncertainty, people were uncomfortable with me sharing how things are going. So I couldn’t really be honest with everyone. They couldn’t handle it. But I kept my vision alive. I knew what I was doing, why I was doing it. I just didn’t know when things could get better. But here we are now and I believe they can only get better. So without further ado, let me get into the questions. The Weirdest Business Questions I’ve Been Asked Some are weird, others are annoying, and some are just entertaining. Maybe you’ll get asked the same or have heard it already, but I just can’t forget them. That’s why I want to share them with you. 1. “How do you know you’re not writing an article for a terrorist?” Number one in the list of the weirdest business questions has remained the same for over 10 years now. And it’s ever since I was writing freelance articles for clients. I was still back in my home country, in university, and keeping in touch with friends from high school. People were curious about what I do and they didn’t really get it when I tried expl...
