How to get people to help you

You’re hot, you’re brilliant, and people really want to help you succeed, but you’re making it too hard for them to help you.

Stay with me, we’re about to fix that.

Visualize a goal you’ve been telling yourself you’ll act on this year, whether it’s finally finding a new job, starting to date again, or launching a side hustle around your passion. 

Now, think about how you would recruit help from a friend or someone in your network. 

Who would you ask? What would you say?

What I see most often as a career coach is someone with incredible potential and willingness to go the extra mile to reach a goal, hamstring themselves by being way too watery, vague, and timid in how they ask for help.

Prime example: imagine two separate friends text you asking for help in their job search.
