Are you a teacher, a fellow traveller or a student?

Too often we struggle too much in an attempt to figure things out on our own instead of asking for help. Asking for help is perceived as a sign of weakness. We forget that people who are ahead of us have already accomplished what we’re trying to do. Success leaves clues. People who have already done what you want to do are usually not hiding. Now, more than ever before, they want to be found. Many of them have websites and are active on social media. I know several very successful authors who manage their own social media presence, simply because they like interacting with their fans. It’s easy to connect with them and ask for help directly, or indirectly by looking at the example they’ve set and the trail they left by doing what they did. You can follow that trail, or even better use it as a guideline to find and create your own unique path.

You want to be a teacher to those who are behind you, a fellow traveller to those with you and a student to those ahead of you.
