growth hacking: help me! i can't solve this problem!

HELP I'M STUCK! and too proud

to admit it!

ME!By Viktor ilijev

GROWTHACKING:

This is whatyour fellow co-founder or partner is desperately trying to tell you when facing a creative block/problem at work.

sometimesThey just can’t figure out a solution no matter what they try. And they desperately need help.

Help becausethey are just too deep in the woods and can't

see the forest.

Luckily you are here to save the day...

andShare your ALL KNOWING WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE by saying...

...the worst thing you can ever say:

“you Are doing it wrong

“LET ME TELL YOU HOW IT'S DONE

“inMy opinion...

I won't kill you but...

stopbecause

tHE DIRECT APPROACH,of offering help and offering your ALL KNOWING advice, doesn’t work.

You need a different approach...

ONE, LESS DIRECT.Wow,, so profound...

THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY...

You need to help this thing...Which is lost, angry and will kill you if you go head to head...

...Become this guyby guiding him and making himself find the way out of

the forest and find a solution.

2 ways not one, i lied.

you can try and help him.

1with something you are doing. Ask him nicely and offer a reward he can't refuse. Be genuine with your request.

ask him to help you

somethingfun and challenging

that requires both of you and your

undivided attention.

This way he will escape from the forest for a short time and

allow his mind to work on a solution in peace, while he focuses on your fun and challenging activity.

Or go witH THE second WAY...

Make him “teach” youhow to do his work, step by step from beginning to end.,

Can you show me WHAT THIS BUTTON DOes?Ask questions that only children would ask.

Brutally simple and honest. But critically important for him because these questions

will help him “get back to basics”

Omg, lIKE THIS?be enthusiastic and act as if you don't know POOP about his work.

Which you don't, and that's the right attitude.

This wayyou help him teach himself, by going “back to basics” and repeating the

same process from beginning to end; make him revisit the place where he got stuck and help him remember basic tools which he has used in the past to tackle problems (but have forgotten due to the circumstances). Plus you

get to learn new stuff as well.
