Ask For Directions
If I get lost while driving to Philadelphia and I have no cell service to search for directions, I’m not going to drive aimlessly in hopes of stumbling upon my destination. I’ll ask someone for directions.
Yet, I know many people who know where they want to go, then stumble their way to the destination. Instead, ask people who are already there for directions.
If you want to grow a newsletter, ask someone with a large following how to get there. If you want to get that promotion at work, ask someone at work who’s there how they got there. If you want to get visible abs, ask someone at the gym how they got there.
Don’t try and figure out the path yourself, when thousands before you already figured it out. Ask for directions instead.
