Asking For Help Is Not A Failure

March 3rd, 2014 - by Alyssa Shea

Dave Woodson reminded us that sometimes, the best thing to do in life is to put aside your pride and ask for help.

Woodson is a Realtor, business owner and speaker that was voted Indiana’s Most Influential Social Media Dude in Indiana for 2010. He specializes in teaching other business owners the power of social media. But what really caught our attention was a post where he spoke out about asking for help.

“Have you ever asked for help? A great deal many of us are the lace up em a little tighter, rub some dirt on it and get back in there kind of people. We struggle against that boulder every day up one and down the next. Our noses pressed firmly to the grindstone.

It does not have to be that way each and every day.”

This social media guru hit the nail on the head. Many of us feel that asking for help is admitting failure. But asking for help can open doors to you that were closed before! Sometimes, accepting what you think is a failure can actually lead you to success!
