Business Book Giveaway: “Advice Is for Winners,” by Raul Valdes-Perez
We’ve all held back from asking for advice.
We’ve been in situations where we didn’t know what to do, and we could have asked someone more knowledgeable than us for advice—but we didn’t.
Maybe it worked out in the end and just took a little longer than it otherwise would have; maybe it didn’t work out at all. But we may have been a little more informed and prepared for it had we solicited the advice of someone we trust.
Advice Is For Winners
Why didn’t we ask for advice? Maybe we couldn’t think of anyone trustworthy to ask. Or maybe we didn’t want to show to the world—or admit to ourselves—that we don’t have all the answers.
