This Weeks Topic: Asking for Help
Asking for help is the cheat code we are scared to use.
Here are three limiting beliefs on asking for help and how to overcome them.
“I don’t want to bother someone”
Here’s the funny thing, depending on how you ask, it can be an ego boost to someone when you ask for their help.
"The person will think less of me”
More often than not, people want to see you do well in life. Also, everyone fails and struggles, you are not unique.
“What if the person doesn’t want to help”
That’s fine, on to the next one. Some people are busy, some people are jerks, but there are loads of people who do want to help.

P.S. Want to donate 500 Meals to people in need?
I am running a drive for October, for every referral I will donate $50 to Feeding America, this purchases 500 meals for people in need.
A good referral for me is someone in upper management in CS, HR, Sales or Learning and Development.
If they become a customer, I will donate an additional $100 to the charity of your choice as part of my referral program.
Thanks for considering, let me know if you have any questions.
