You seek help but it cause more cost

No one expects help → leads to repeated issues & costs

You don't know its going to end up that way

Story of two customers with same problem, both have: A broken timing belt in a car.

When the timing belt breaks, the engine's pistons and valves collide because they are no longer synchronized. This damages the pistons, valves, and even the cylinder head.

- CUSTOMER A went to Mechanic Bob

Replaced the timing belt and good to go.
After a while, the customer came back.
The mechanic found out the pistons needed to be replaced.
After some time, the customer came back again.
The mechanic found out the valves needed to be replaced.

This type of help:
Annoy you.
Disrupt your calendar.
Cost you more money and time.

- CUSTOMER B went to Mechanic Ron.

The mechanic did a deep dive.

Replaced the timing belt, pistons, and valves all at once.

This type of help:
Visit once and for all
Spend less time and money.
Gives you peace of mind.

The difference is in:

1. Making a true effort + will
2. Cares as if it's one's own
3. Mastery + knowledge

The same problems exist in the business world when solving challenges, creating value, and innovating.

Experiences like this shouldn’t “discourage” you from “losing” trust in others.

Next time you need help, know who to seek—an ally, not a transactional relationship.

Have you ever had the same experience with your car?

Thanks for reading, we will talk in the next letter.
