Are you Afraid to Ask for Help?

Do you fail because you are afraid to ask for help?

Why is that?

Fear others will take advantage of them once their weakness is known?

Embarrassment about what others will think? After all we live in a culture of rugged individualism. Asking for help is a sign of weakness.

Not knowing who to call (who you can trust) to help?

Concerned about not have the money to pay someone?

Do you lack confidence that you may be wrong?

Are you comfortable? Being comfortable is the biggest problem that exist? They is no pain moving you to change or no pleasure you want to move towards. It is called complacency.

According to SCORE 70% of business failure happens because business people do not recognize, or ignore what they don't do well and do not seeking help from those who can help them?

If any on those excuses (sorry reasons) are applicable to you then I have some bad news. The bad news is that you are human and it is part of the human condition to need help at some point in your life. The good news is that it can be changed.

Contrary to popular opinion it takes courage to ask for help. More importantly it takes intestinal fortitude to look at yourself in the mirror and admit that you cannot know everything.

There are reasons why coaches and teachers and doctors and councilor exist and others in the helping professions exist.

When did we lose that childlike innocence we had when we first started school? Life it about learning, life is learning. When we stop learning is when we start getting old and the dying process begins.

Go down fighting. Never stop learning.

Let me know if you need some encouragement. I would be happy to help?
