Sometimes the thing that’s holding me back is the fear of asking:

• Asking for a favor, because the answer might be no – but that’s the worst it could be. On the other hand, it could be a yes.
• Asking for help, because I don’t know and I might look stupid because I don’t know – but if I don’t ask, then I’ll never know.
• Asking for payment, because I don’t believe in the value of my creations – but if my creations really do help people then they have value. Again, the worst answer could be no.

If you don’t ask, you can’t receive. So ask!
