I just hired a guy to help me do a thing. The reason I hired him is because he announced “I do this and you can hire me to help you.”
In talking to him I learned how he had learned the skill he is selling me. He had arbitrarily picked up the phone and purchased one-on-one consulting from people who were not selling consulting, but were self-evidently killing it with this specific skill.
It never occurred to me to do that.
Today I learned a new life skill. Go to the best, and ask if they will help. Overpay if necessary.
The reality laughs part of this story is that the help I seek is omnipresent. It’s me and my hidden assumptions and life operating principles that stops the help from arriving at my doorstep.
