Knowing you need help and having the courage to ask for help, are two different things.
I met someone recently, who shared with me the fact that he got to where he is today, by asking for help.
Could this be true? Is it a statement invoked by successful people?
In my opinion, I would rather say that successful business merchants must have necessary experience, some level of help from contacts and or customers who inspire referrals and recommendations, thereby creating a platform to lobby and be favoured, through which the concerned merchants excel in their circle of influence.
My objective is to encourage young entrepreneurs out there, knowing how tough it is trying to survive and succeed, in the risky world of business.
That is notwithstanding the passion, energy and the dedication you bring to bear on your unique business idea.
Consequently, you will find that we all can use a little help but asking for that help is a tough call. This quote from Isaac Newton (1675) illustrates the validity of this issue : "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants".
