You can find my Blog, along with past posts <a href=\"https:\/\/thrive-coaching.biz\/test.thrive-coaching.biz\/blog\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Successful people get things done. Otherwise, they wouldn\u2019t be very successful.<\/p>\n<p>But how do they do it?<\/p>\n<p>They have big goals, they plan, they take risks, and they overcome setbacks.<\/p>\n<p>But there is one more thing they do that greatly improves their chances of success \u2013 <strong>they ask for help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to ask questions. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn\u2019t a sign of weakness, it\u2019s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don\u2019t know something, and to learn something new\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-Barack Obama-<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Asking for help comes in many forms \u2013 teambuilding, delegating, seeking a mentor or a coach, or outsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>With all those opportunities to receive help, why do so many of us refuse to ask for it?<\/p>\n<p>Fear!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fear of appearing weak.<\/li>\n<li>Fear of losing autonomy.<\/li>\n<li>Fear of rejection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re afraid of asking or merely don\u2019t know where to find support, here are some tips to help you get the support you need to help you realise your dreams.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hire freelancers or an assistant. Need more time to concentrate on what you love to do, a.k.a. what you\u2019re good at? There will most likely be an upfront investment in time, training, and cash but the payoff can be huge. Once you get the \u2018delegation bug\u2019 you\u2019ll wonder how you survived without it.<\/li>\n<li>Seek advice from colleagues by recognising their value. Instead of saying, <em>\u201cI\u2019m in over my head! Can you help me?!\u201d<\/em> try, <em>\u201cI was impressed with your presentation. Could you take a look at mine and provide some feedback?\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Bartering is back. Limited funds? Think about offering your service in exchange for a service you need.<\/li>\n<li>Find a mentor. Chances are you know someone with the<em> \u2018been there done that\u2019 <\/em>experience you need. These savvy guides can offer inspiration, help you avoid the mistakes they\u2019ve made, and provide contacts through their network.<\/li>\n<li>Mastermind groups. Whether you\u2019re looking for practical advice, accountability buddies, or the occasional shoulder to cry on, peer groups can help keep you on track to reach your goals. You give and receive help &#8211; a win-win situation!<\/li>\n<li>Assess your existing resources. Help could be right under your nose. Do you have colleagues, peers or friends who could help? Start there and always look for opportunities to cultivate your network.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, could you hire a home-assistant. Unless chores are a form of meditation for you (as they can be to some), hiring someone who cooks, cleans, and runs errands can be well worth the cost. If that\u2019s not in the budget delegate tasks to all members of the family \/ co-habitees to share the burden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seeking help doesn\u2019t always come naturally to us, even when we know we need it. But asking for help can make a huge difference in your performance and ability to achieve success.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, doing everything alone is not only unrealistic it\u2019s unhealthy. Once you get over your fear and seek the help you need you increase the chances of accomplishing your goals with less effort, more time and less stress.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s stopping you from finding support?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cHe who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-Danish Proverb-<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have enjoyed this \u201cThought for the Week\u201d and it has sparked some creativity new thinking!
