Me and my business partner Hilary took a lot on ourselves. We went to other businesses to talk to people who’d been there, done that, people who were right up there enjoying huge amounts of success. We used that ‘help’ word instead of ‘time’ or ‘advice’. That word really worked and loads of people did give us help. We also learned that once you got in front of somebody for an hour or so, they would give you more names.
We’d put together a questionnaire to bring along, quite sneakily, with ten or twelve questions. What we found was that those questions brought people into a good conversation, which we held it face to face. The last question on our questionnaire was, if we started this business, would you be interested in helping us? They all said, yeah, absolutely.
