#18 IF YOU DON'T ASK YOU DON'T GET

This rule applies to EVERYONE!

It’s Inevitable that you're going to find yourself in a situation where you're going to need to ask for something. Whether it's for help in creating something, an opinion about your fragrance or finding out whether something is possible.

Perhaps you need legal or accounting advice or are looking for good sources. Whatever your requirements, you'd be surprised at how many people are eager to offer advice. You just need to ask them.

As a billionaire businessman once told me, "If you don't A.S.K. you don't G.E.T."

Join Facebook groups with like-minded people, perhaps creators or entrepreneurs. You'll always find somebody on there that's willing to offer expert guidance.

If they're not willing to give it for free, perhaps you can do a tit for tat and offer products or services in return if your budget is tight.

But experts are aplenty. You just need to seek them out.

Remember to reciprocate, by being generous with your own advice if people seek you out. I offer free advice all the time, and people remember me for my generosity, which costs me nothing, but is invaluable to them.
