Ask for Help

Posted by Jef Menguin at 29th June, 2009


I told my students that I don’t read minds. It is up to them to talk to me and ask for help. Most people don’t ask for help. They rather die figuring out everything by themselves than ask other people for help. Realize that there are people who have the right knowledge and resources who can solve our problems in faster and better ways. Try this experiment: make it a point to ask for help from someone this week and watch the miracles unfold. People are willing to help. They did not help before because they are not mind readers. Sure, there will be people who would not help for their own reasons. But when you help them when they ask you, you will slow change their attitude about helping.

When you ask people for help, you can focus on something you are good at. It is always a joy to do something you love. And when you do something you love, you are simply at your best. Let me give you an examples.

Why spend your precious time marketing your seminars when a company like Ariva or Salt and Light can do it better than you do. Focus your time developing training content and conducting workshops that give you so much joy. Yes, that is my advice to myself. And why spend one month designing and developing your website for a month when someone can do it for you in three days?

And most importantly, ask people for help because that doing speaks about how important they are in your life. The best strategy to motivate people is to ask them for help. Ask for help.
