BRX Pro Tip: Asking for Advice
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, it’s one thing to to be and continue to become coachable. But at a very tactical level, we have to think through. Let’s talk a little bit about asking for advice.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:18] Yeah. Asking for advice, asking for help, I think is an important part of growing as an entrepreneur, as a leader. But be strategic about this. Your friends might be convenient people to ask for advice since you can get to them easily. But unless they’re in your business or are prospects to actually buy your services, their opinion may not be very useful. Just because your friends don’t think that it’s a good idea, it doesn’t mean that the idea isn’t a good idea.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:47] I think it’s much more productive to ask someone who has successfully done what you want to do or has purchased similar services to the one you’re providing, and ask those people for advice. Find those people and ask them for advice, and then you’ll be getting closer to the information that you need that can possibly move the needle in your business.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:08] So, I think asking for advice is critically important. I think it’s important to get advice and learn from other people that have been there and done that. But be selective on who you’re asking and don’t just kind of make a dramatic change just because someone proposed it, because they may not understand what it is you do, what it is you’re selling, and the value that you’re providing. So, ask for advice, but be strategic about who you ask.
