Need help? Phone a Friend.

I came across some excellent advice recently worth passing along. I was told that when starting something new, be sure to ask at least one person a day for help. This is the fastest way to get ahead.

I’ve been doing this for about a week now and am amazed how great it works. Most people love being asked and this is a excellent way to reach out to people I just met. Here’s a few pointers to asking for help:

  • Ask someone new everyday.
  • Avoid going to the same people for the same things.
  • Ask for small favors.
  • It’s fine for people to say no. Just move on and ask someone else.

As I launch into some cool new projects, I plan to use this to the full extent. For those of you who already heard from me, please kindly hit “reply” and get back to me.
