Some people are easily helped.
Some people aren’t.
For those who aren’t…
1. You’re not easy to help because you don’t emit neediness AND you don’t clearly state what you need. It’s easier to help someone who seems like they need help or who asks for help.
And the truth is when you do finally begin stating what you need, the people you tell may not actually believe you or take action because you just don’t seem like the kind of person who needs help.
So you’re going to need to say what you need again and again. Consistent clarity of need.
2. You’re not easily helped because you don’t need the things that are easy to help with. You need the things that are hard to help with, which drastically shrinks the pool of people willing to take action on your part.
i.e. It’s easy to book some shows for a new band. It’s hard to sell out a club tour. It’s easy to book writing sessions. It’s hard to book writing sessions with big artists.
It might be worth it to figure out some ways that you still might be easily helped and invite people into those simple things. And let the simple things lead into the big difficult things.
