“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
It’s very important to be humble, know when you can’t do things by yourself, and then be unafraid of asking for help.
I have currently hit a wall in the sense that my company has been growing, and I am no longer able to take care of all the work that I once did. Even if I put in 15-hour workdays, I am not able to finish my to-do lists, and I feel like I don’t have as good of an overview of the business anymore. This means I have to hire people to strengthen my team, but I need funding to do that, and seeking funding takes more of my time. So literally, I need more time to fix my problem of not having any time. Hmm…
So this is a problem that every entrepreneur knows, being stuck in the process because there is a gap that you can’t jump by yourself. Many people panic here or give up because the gap seems insurmountable, but I just figured out the secret to bridging these kinds of gaps… ask for help!
The fact is that no one will help you unless you are willing to ask for their help. In most cases, you will be pleasantly surprised at how many people will want to help you.
So next time you’re standing in front of an insurmountable gap, ask someone for help!
