An Amazing Women's Strength That I Rarely See in Men

Seinfeld Said It Best...

Ok, some men have contacted me for career advice, however the lion's share of those asking for advice are women.

So, the takeaway is,

Women, in general, are more likely to ask for advice than men.

Why does this matter?

Consider Ryan Holiday's insights,

“You can’t learn if you think you already know. 

You will not find the answers if you’re too conceited and self-assured to ask the questions.

You cannot get better if you’re convinced you are the best.”

Seeking advice and getting better resonates with me, because I used to think I was gifted.

Then one day after finishing a big project, I looked around and realized everyone in my department was more talented than I am.

Since I've made that realization, I've worked to improve my performance and that has meant asking for advice.

How about you,

Do you ask for advice?

Or, do you think you already know everything?

Also, who would you rather be 10 years from now?

Someone who's spent the last 10 years seeking advice and improving their performance?

Or, someone who decided 10 years ago, that they already were good enough?
