How to ask for Help & get what you need

April 4, 2018 by Heather Filed Under: Organize, Paper management, Systems & Techniques, Tips & Resources

It can be tough for some of us to ask for help when we need it! I’m guilty of this, and I’d much rather be of service to others than ask for what I need. This is why I began my work as a professional organizer, and it’s deeply satisfying to see others make massive transformations and shifts because they were courageous enough to ask for what they needed.

Starting my business (especially as an organizer) has required and inspired me to ask for help on a more frequent basis. There’s a certain mindset about this that many of us have learned, especially women! We often think needing help means showing weakness; we believe we should be able to do everything ourselves…or some of us are taught to feel this way.

This is an old programmed mindset that we can all choose to free ourselves from.

As incredible as it is to be strong, independent women (or men), it’s also totally necessary collaborate and get encouragement in order to grow personally and professionally. Maybe we are afraid! But living in fear means we are limiting our growth, freedom, creativity, health and future. So absolutely YES, being fearless means asking for help! My clients model that for me on a daily basis.

How to Get the Help you Need

Determine what project or task you need assistance with

Make a list of people who you can help you with specific needs (identify individuals or types of professionals)

Match the task with the person

Ask and don’t do so in a way that belittles yourself, we all deserve to receive!

Whether you are paying a professional or someone is doing something just because they love you, remember that gratitude goes a long way so show it off a little or a lot.

Return the favor, pay it forward and return the favor ASAP!

What kind of help are you most afraid to ask for? What is easy to ask for?
