Helps me ask for help
Being a fiercely independent entrepreneur almost always works to my advantage except when I really need help and I fail to ask for it because I am afraid of being a burden on someone else. This book helped me see how inviting others to seize the “opportunity” to help me, I may have the “opportunity” to give them more than they will give me. Reframing giving as an opportunity has been a game changer for me.
