Why Some People Will Help You
(and others won’t!)
Two reasons people won’t be willing to help you:
1. They don’t know you or know enough about you to care
whether or not you succeed
2. They are afraid you might make them look bad and don’t
want their name and reputation connected to you
Three reasons people will be willing to help you:
1. They believe you deserve their assistance
2. They genuinely want to see you succeed
3. They are confident you will not make them look bad
You have to EARN their support!
Copyright © 2013 Matthew Berndt
The more you succeed . . . .
. . . the more they will be willing to help!
