Who Do I Turn To For Advice

Who Do I Turn To For Advice Sometimes we dont have all the answers.   What to do?   The answers we are looking for could be about our career, our personal life, our finances, our car, technology or any other area. In order to ask for advice, a couple of things need to happen first. 1. You have to know what advice you are looking for. 2. You have to identify someone you trust. Asking for advice shouldnt be so hard, you think to yourself.   But what you ask will determine what you get. Start by thinking it through.   Try asking yourself these questions: What is it that I am struggling with? What have I done to try and fix it myself? Why didnt my fixes work? Am I looking at the problem/situation objectively? Hopefully, you will have some information or lack of information that will make asking for advice clearer. Now, who to ask?   Do you have a friend who has been through a similar situation?   Is there someone in your extended family you respect?   Is there an ex-boss or co-worker you value?   Do you have a mentor? Instead of emailing your conundrum, call them on the phone.   It will be difficult for you to explain your situation in writing.   Frequently the written word is misinterpreted. Remember, you arent necessarily looking for answers, but possible solutions.   There is always more than one way to skin a cat.
