This month we’ve had a chance to talk to a lot of entrepreneurs about their businesses, and based on those discussions we’ve come up with a list of words that businesses could consider using more often. This week we are looking at the word: “Can you help me”

 

“Can you help me”

Sometimes being an entrepreneur can make you feel like you need to be invincible. A subset of entrepreneurs find it almost impossible to show any vulnerability and ask for help. If that is you, it’s worth knowing that studies show * that asking for help can create a good impression, and improve your relationship with someone. If you haven’t asked anyone for help recently, maybe it’s time for a new habit?

* See for example, this summary http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/asking-advice-makes-a-good-impression1/

 

What do you think? Is this a word you use often enough? Is it something you like to hear from the companies you work with?
