DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

Some time ago, my wife and I got the vision to begin the School of Purpose and Influence (SPIN).

Even though I'm a lecturer, I didn't really know how to go about the vision.

While I understood some of the components that would go into it including the curriculum, vision, and objectives, etc., I was unclear about so many other things.

I was praying one day when God dropped the name of one of my friends in my spirit. She runs a successful academy with thousands of students. I shared it with my wife.

We didn't hesitate to reach out to her. We scheduled a zoom call straight away and discussed the vision of SPIN.

In less than two hours, everything became very clear. She graciously shared with us had the blueprint to kickstart the vision.

As I speak, the school is going strong with hundreds of students enrolled and over 20 volunteers.

Why am I sharing this with you?

So many of us have successful friends or people in our community but we are afraid to approach them and ask them for information, direction, or guidance.

Either, we are afraid of rejection or pridefully, believe we could do it all on our own.

If you are afraid of rejection, let me ask you, what is the worst that could happen?

They won't tell you what they know, right? That's not a loss, is it? You already don't know, so it can't get any worse. Don't let your pride get in the way.

Interestingly, most successful people are usually very willing to share what they know or mentor others.

If you are thinking about doing it all on your own, then be ready to go the hard, long, and boring way.

The reason God puts people ahead of us is so that we can learn the way because they've gone the way. Humble yourself and send them a message.

Fulfilling purpose is not a competitive but collaborative endeavour. God's purpose for you takes into account the relationships and people you would work with.

Let me mention, you may need to pay for the time of that successful person or serve them to get into their circle, but don't let that stop you.

Also, you might need to go through someone close to them to get their attention. Do it respectfully, and humbly too.



I believe in you.
