The #1 Hack To Do Less And Still Succeed Fast

0:00Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore. Have you ever considered that failure to ask might be your biggest problem? I mean think about it. I once spent three hours trying to figure out how to complete a sales report versus asking my boss who was next to me. I thought I should have it all figured out. I thought it was embarrassing to ask, I thought I should know this. And what's so interesting is a co-worker that day saw what I was doing and said, oh, just do x, y, z. In ten minutes, if that report was complete, I don't know how many more hours it might have taken me. As a business owner now, I don't guess when it comes to the products and services that I create. I ask people what they most need and most want from me and I give it to them. I literally say, will you buy this? Hard work, my friends, is invisible, all the effort that you put into things, no one

1:04can see it. I understand and maybe you're tired, maybe you're fatigued, maybe you're like I'm working so hard and the fruits of my labour are not here yet. What if you have a massive shortcut available to you that you are not using? For example, if I need some help writing something, I'll ask a copyrighter friend. If I need some help in the kitchen, if I'm lacking something for a recipe, I'll ask one of my two or three friends who love cooking and baking, they will let me know. I'm not going to sit there and try and figure it out because I think I have to be perfect. Did you know too that when you ask, when you allow other people to help you, not only is that a huge compliment to the person that you're asking, I mean, think about it when it was the last time someone asked you for your help, which was pretty nice. It also creates connection. People who allow themselves to be helped, it creates this really generous, lovely cycle.

2:04It also means that other people are likely to ask you for help because you've broken down that barrier. I once had a friend do 30 days of asking because it was the least comfortable thing in her life, to ask her friend to babysit, to ask her sister to pick something up, to ask someone else to run an errand because they're going to be in a certain part of town. She was uncomfortable every day, but she checked in with me daily. And what do you think happened? After a month, she had closer relationships. She realized how much people do want to help. She felt less alone and she got time and energy and, frankly, time specifically with her son back. What if there's nothing wrong? What if there isn't a challenge or struggle right now? What if it's just your ability to be able to ask for help? The fastest way to get there is to do it now and why not take on that 30-day challenge?
