How To Consult On Any Problem Any Time

A couple of years into my consulting career, I stumbled upon a clever trick that significantly enhanced my ability to help clients solve problems. The hack was as simple as it could get, and I’ve used it hundreds of times since.

“Ask for help.”

That’s it. Ask for help.

Or, more specifically:

Find others who have encountered the problem and ask them what they did. Discover what they would do differently, and learn directly from their experience and expertise.

I’ve found that the vast majority of consultants prefer to rely on their singular past experience vs. the wisdom of the crowd.

And it’s a big mistake.
