Guess what every successful entrepreneur and business owner have in common?
The key to their success is not merely:
- More funding
- Innate marketing and sales ability
- The right connections
- An Ivy league education
- or, even the BEST quality product, service, or offering (though that sure helps)
No, what they all have in common….is that they know when to ask for help. (Tweet this!)
Richard Branson, the genius behind Virgin, advises entrepreneurs to not shy about asking for help, like he did:
“I reached out to people who possessed the skills I lacked and asked them for help.”
Marie Forleo, internet marketing expert and community builder, shares that “everything is figure-outable”, her mantra for building her empire:
“If I don’t know how to do something, I’m pretty sure there’s someone else on the planet who does. I Google. I pick up the phone. I ask for help from everyone I know.”
Howard Schultz built Starbucks as an ambitious dream…and even rejoined the company to to right the ship when it started going off the rails. His secret?:
“One of the most undervalued characteristics (of success) is being vulnerable and
asking for help.“
