GROWTHACKING : HELP ME! I'M STUCK! and too proud to admit it! By Viktor ilijev This is what your fellow co-founder or partner is desperately trying to tell you when facing a creative block/problem at work. sometimes They just can’t figure out a solution no matter what they try. And they desperately need help. Help because they are just too deep in the woods and can't see the forest. Luckily you are here to save the day... and Share your ALL KNOWING WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE by saying... ...the worst thing you can ever say: “you Are doing it wrong “LET ME TELL YOU HOW IT'S DONE “in My opinion... I won't kill you but... stop because tHE DIRECT APPROACH, of offering help and offering your ALL KNOWING advice, doesn’t work. You need a different approach... ONE, LESS DIRECT. Wow,, so profound... THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY... You need to help this thing... Which is lost, angry and will kill you if you go head to head... ...Become this guy by guiding him and making himself find the way out of the forest and find a solution. not one, i lied. 2 ways you can try and help him. 1 ask him to help you with something you are doing. Ask him nicely and offer a reward he can't refuse. Be genuine with your request. something fun and challenging that requires both of you and your undivided attention. This way he will escape from the forest for a short time and allow his mind to work on a solution in peace, while he focuses on your fun and challenging activity. Or go witH THE second WAY... Make him “teach” you how to do his work, step by step from beginning to end., Can you show me WHAT THIS BUTTON DOes? Ask questions that only children would ask. Brutally simple and honest. But critically important for him because these questions will help him “get back to basics” Omg, lIKE THIS? be enthusiastic and act as if you don't know POOP about his work. Which you don't, and that's the right attitude. This way you help him teach himself, by going “back to basics” and repeating the same process from beginning to end; make him revisit the place where he got stuck and help him remember basic tools which he has used in the past to tackle problems (but have forgotten due to the circumstances). Plus you get to learn new stuff as well. Thanks for reading!
