The Hidden Strength in Asking for Help

Welcome to your quick fix!

We often see asking for help as a negative, a kind of weakness. But honestly, it is a huge, huge positive. If you know you're facing challenges to achieve a goal, figure out how to use a piece of kit, or understand a concept, asking a question is the literal step that will help you move forward.

Your dream, your mission, and your goal are so worth it. Sometimes, we have to swallow our pride. We're all human, and we all have things we don't know—that's what makes us who we are. Reaching out is creating a positive environment for growth.

Your Quick Fix Action Plan

1. Identify the Challenge: Have a look at what the challenge is. What are you going round in circles on? What are you tripping over regularly that you don't know the answer to?

2. Jot Them Down: Write those challenges down.

3. Survey Your Vicinity: Look around at the people in your network. Do they know things that might help with that challenge? Reach out and ask them a question.

4. Widen the Net: If they don't know, they might know somebody who does. Reach out to friends, family, or close contacts and say, "Actually, I'm having a bit of a challenge with this. Do you know anybody?"

The most important thing is to be brave and reach out, because your dream is totally worth it. People, especially those in business, are usually really kind. Asking a simple question isn't about taking up all of their time; it's just asking, "Are you able to help?"
