It’s such an easy thing to do and yet our pride steps in and makes asking a simple question seem like lifting a 2 ton brick. Can you help me? I love when people ask me for help. It is so flattering. It means they think I actually know something. That’s how MOST people feel when you ask for help. No one is going to bite you, I promise. The most successful people today and throughout all of time have advisors, mentors, mastermind groups and any number of other resources that they’ve put in place for guidance.
If you’re not asking for help, chances are you’re not growing. Want to grow your business? Start asking for help. Look for people who are where you want to be and then ask them how they did it. In my career I’ve encountered exactly one person who did not seem interested or flattered when I approached him. He still didn’t bite me though – he blew me off and turn down my requests to meet and have lunch because he had too much going on. Oh well! I survived and even moved on to find others to reach out to.
So do yourself a favor today and ask for help. If you want help with your accounting, bookkeeping, and especially this time of year with how to prepare your books so they’re ready for your tax returns to be prepared then you are definitely in the right place.
