It can chip away at our pride, make us question our own abilities, sometimes create paralyzing anxiety, and yes, sometimes, to some people, make us appear weak. But it doesn’t have to. Because asking for help can also do something else — it can help us create better results.Confident people often ask others for help, not only because they’re secure enough to let it be known they need help but they know that trying to do everything themselves is not always the best use of their time, skills or energy and that it can leave them feeling overwhelmed and stressed and then they can’t do things properly. Confident people find someone who’s good at what they need to learn or get done and then ask for their help and guidance. They know that asking, ‘Can you help me?’ shows respect for the other person’s knowledge and abilities. Otherwise, they wouldn’t ask.Refusing to ask for help is counter-productive; you’re more likely to berate yourself when you can’t get it done well or on time, which only serves to knock your self-esteem and confidence further.Build a networkActive networking is vital to career growth. Networking is all about building long-term relationships and a good reputation over time. It involves meeting and getting to know people who you can assist and who can potentially help you in return. Your network includes everyone from friends and family to work colleagues and members of groups to which you belong.The most obvious benefit of networking is to meet potential clients and/or generate referrals which you can then follow up on to hopefully add to your client base. Networking can also help you identify opportunities for partnerships, joint ventures, or new areas of expansion for your business. In addition to the potential of increasing your business you can often find solutions to your own business problems or needs by networking.Live life to the fullestNo matter who a person is, what they are currently doing, how much money they have in the bank, and so on, everyone can start living life to the fullest.You just never know what may happen in the future, so taking advantage of the time you have now is very important. No one ever wants their life to flash before their eyes and wonder whether their life was meaningful or not, whether they had a good time, or whether they regret past decisions.Be open to new things and tackle your fears.When was the last time you did something new? So many people live inside their comfort zone when they actually need to branch out every now and then.Yes, stepping outside of your box can be tough, but what if it completely opened your eyes and changed your whole outlook on life? Wouldn’t that be amazing?If you want to learn how to live life to the fullest, this is something you need to do every now and then. You could even give yourself a goal to try something new each day, each week, or each monthSubscribe!If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it. And of course, share with your friends!

Making friends with time

Making friends with time

You cannot master time, you can only master yourself. Time will keep doing its thing and we can't ever blame it or be annoyed with it. We must accept it and look to ourselves to make decisions we feel better about. As we launch into 2023 plenty of us are looking to smash goals and achievements this year in a race against the 2024 countdown. We discuss how to move from a scarcity mindset around time to creating a better relationship with our moments as they happen. - - -   Connect with Sam: Join the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  - - - Chapters: 00:00 - introduction 01:39 - Time is the medium in which we exist 02:50 - Time can't behave differently, only ourselves 04:00 - Productivity is a false promise 05:10 - How to reflect on your relationship with time 07:00 - Happiness is not circumstances it's interpretation 08:25 - Accidental advert for Vipassana retreats... 10:50 - Your enemies enemy is your friend 12:50 - Spend time learning how to spend time Learn more about your ad choices.

Learning faster by doing less

Learning faster by doing less

Trying to do too much is overwhelming and we can learn faster by doing less. We learn how to have more success in our learning goals with a more tactical approach. Learning a new skill is so much fun in theory. Yet in reality, it involves doing hard things and being bad at stuff. We can really struggle to stay motivated and struggle to find the time to dedicate to being terrible at something. What if there was a different way that made things easier to start and yet the achievement more likely? There is. Skill breaks are one of the most useful concepts I've ever learnt and here I explain what they are and how to start learning more by having fun. - - - Sponsored by LinkedIn Jobs Create a free job posting in months on the world's #1 rated recruitment site for small businesses. https://www.linkedin.com/growth - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity and entrepreneurship - Explosive Thinking  Support the Show - Patreon  If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.
