If the answer is YES in any of the areas then this means that you know how to ASK yourself to do what is needed to get what you want AND you also know how to ASK someone else who can and wants to help you get what you want.
ASKING myself to do what was needed to get what I wanted has always come easy for me…
I am extremely self-driven…
I have zero issues or challenges with hard work…
I will do whatever is required to go from A to B…
Where I struggled was ASKING others to help when they WANTED to support what I was doing…
I did not want them to feel like I was using them…
I did not want them to feel like I was self-serving...
I did not want them to feel like I was selfish…
So instead, I would take the weight of any area from above, hoist it up on my shoulders, and muscle my way through.
And I would often get to the outcome, but it was often an extremely roundabout way with little satisfaction and extreme burnout.
Two years ago, I had this realization.
Was I suffocating people's ability to help me?
Was I preventing people from doing what they ultimately wanted to do?
Was I battling with feeling worthy of support?
WHY DID I NEED TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING IT ALL?!?!
I immediately decided to deploy my newfound paradigm at SYNDUIT by empowering rockstars on my team to not only help - but do the entire THING - whatever the thing was and guess what happened…
THEY LOVED IT!
Their commitment accelerated…
Their results were better than mine…
Their pride was indescribable…
I created the space for people to help me and not only did they fill that space - they expanded in a way that I never envisioned.
But this took effort and awareness for me and if I had to guess - it will take effort and awareness for you too!
What I learned was the first ASK of myself was NOT to do whatever was needed to get what I wanted…
Instead…
The first ASK of myself was to give myself permission to receive!
Please read this again…
The first ASK of myself was to give myself permission to receive!
Once I granted myself this permission, the second ASK was easy…
Can you help me?!?!
And guess what people said almost 100% of the time…
HELLS YES!!!!!
When you are a changemaker human…
Which means you stand to make the world a better place for all…
People YEARN to help - but you must create the space for them to step inside and do their thing.
And then just WATCH…
WATCH what happens when other people can step inside of your mission with a servant heart…
This will allow you to stay in your lane…
This will allow you to let others stay in their flame…
AND
TOGETHER YOU WILL ACHIEVE MORE!
I operate with a premise which states…
51/49
I always strive to give 51% and get 49% in return - this probably won’t ever change - but prior to my realization 2 years ago, I was giving 100% and leaving no room for anyone else.
So my challenge for you is the following…
ASK x2
Ask #1 - YOURSELF: Permission to ASK for help
Ask #2 - SOMEONE ELSE: Can you help?
Do you accept?
Live with Intention,
