Giving Whenever Asked

If I signed up for everything my friends and acquaintances asked me to, I would be spread out, seriously vulnerable and broke. If I gave whenever asked to give, I’d have nothing left to give. Out of time, of money, of resources. I have to say no to people I care about more often than you may think. I’m not necessarily a hard sell. I’m just selfish. I have to be.

For those I say no to, I wish I could help, but I can’t. For those I say no to, let me suggest something new and give you a newsflash. Newsflash first.

Newsflash: You don’t need my help, my tribe, my resources to be successful. You have the power to gather your own tribe and create a strategy for success.

Something new: Do the hard work. Don’t seek out the people who can make your success happen with a wave of their wand and don’t seek people out who you can piggyback off their success. Do the hard work of developing your one page marketing plan, the hard work of seeing it all the way through, the hard work of starting out small and growing over a long period of time.

If you’re not in it for the long run, why are you in it?

A Tip Or Two About Asking Questions

Garth Beyer

Why is it that people refuse to ask questions unless they are reallllly good questions. (Yes, this post also applies to yesterdays post: asking for help)

Moreover, why is it that people refuse to think hard enough until they come up with a realllly good question.

Questions do much more than receive answers, they open doors – millions of them – and opportunities too.

The quickest way to get someone (professor, step-family, good-looking person sitting by you) to know and remember your name, ask them a question. The quickest way to an answer, to the solution of a problem, ask questions. The quickest way to learning what you need to know to get what you want … you guessed it, ask a question.

Rarely in life is “the quickest way” ever “the best way.”

But when it comes to asking questions, it is.
