Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Have you ever considered that failure to ask might be your biggest problem?
0:16
I mean think about it.
0:17
I once spent three hours trying to figure out how to complete a sales report versus asking
0:23
my boss who was next to me.
0:25
I thought I should have it all figured out.
0:27
I thought it was embarrassing to ask, I thought I should know this.
0:31
And what's so interesting is a co-worker that day saw what I was doing and said, oh, just
0:37
In ten minutes, if that report was complete, I don't know how many more hours it might
0:44
As a business owner now, I don't guess when it comes to the products and services that
0:49
I ask people what they most need and most want from me and I give it to them.
0:54
I literally say, will you buy this?
0:59
Hard work, my friends, is invisible, all the effort that you put into things, no one
1:05
I understand and maybe you're tired, maybe you're fatigued, maybe you're like I'm working
1:09
so hard and the fruits of my labour are not here yet.
1:13
What if you have a massive shortcut available to you that you are not using?
1:19
For example, if I need some help writing something, I'll ask a copyrighter friend.
1:23
If I need some help in the kitchen, if I'm lacking something for a recipe, I'll ask
1:28
one of my two or three friends who love cooking and baking, they will let me know.
1:33
I'm not going to sit there and try and figure it out because I think I have to be perfect.
1:39
Did you know too that when you ask, when you allow other people to help you, not only
1:44
is that a huge compliment to the person that you're asking, I mean, think about it when
1:48
it was the last time someone asked you for your help, which was pretty nice.
1:53
It also creates connection.
1:56
People who allow themselves to be helped, it creates this really generous, lovely cycle.
2:04
It also means that other people are likely to ask you for help because you've broken down
2:10
I once had a friend do 30 days of asking because it was the least comfortable thing in
2:17
her life, to ask her friend to babysit, to ask her sister to pick something up, to ask
2:23
someone else to run an errand because they're going to be in a certain part of town.
2:28
She was uncomfortable every day, but she checked in with me daily.
2:33
And what do you think happened?
2:35
After a month, she had closer relationships.
2:38
She realized how much people do want to help.
2:40
She felt less alone and she got time and energy and, frankly, time specifically with her
2:48
What if there's nothing wrong?
2:50
What if there isn't a challenge or struggle right now?
2:53
What if it's just your ability to be able to ask for help?
2:57
The fastest way to get there is to do it now and why not take on that 30-day challenge?
3:05
Until tomorrow, my friends.
