WHY MIGHT OTHERS HELP YOU?

NEW YEARS IS A GREAT EXCUSEWOMAN UP AND ASK DIRECTLY, IN PERSON

DON’T SAY “PLEASE” MORE THAN ONCE. ASK LIKE A WINNER! DON’T SOUND TOO NEEDY.

HOW

NO ONE WANTS TO BE ASKED TO BE YOUR GODDAMN MENTOR;

IT’S CREEPY

INSTEAD…

THE BOARD OF ADVISORS

CAN BE FORMAL OR INFORMAL

ASK EACH PERSON FOR ONGOING HELP OR MENTORSHIP ON ONE SPECIFIC THING

QUARTERLY CHECK-INS SEEM ABOUT RIGHT

YOU’RE THE MASTERMIND: WHO WILL YOU LEAN ON, EMULATE, OR ASK FOR ADVICE FOR EACH MAJOR AREA

OF CHALLENGE?

BOARD OF ADVISORS

INTIMIDATED TO ASK FOR HELP? PLAN FOR REJECTION

“NO PROBLEM, THANKS ANYWAY FOR YOUR HELP SO FAR.”

“OKAY, I UNDERSTAND. COULD YOU [DO THIS MUCH SMALLER THING] INSTEAD?”

“I UNDERSTAND. WHEN WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO PICK THIS CONVERSATION UP AGAIN?”

“COOL. I HAD TO ASK, Y’KNOW?”
