About This Video

So often it can seem like we live in a DIY culture. Independence, initiative, and ambition are prime virtues, and you'd better highlight how you've displayed each of them in several places on your resume. There can be, after all, only one "number one."

But aren't we kidding ourselves, just a bit, when we say that all our accomplishments are our own? Behind every successful person is a teacher, a coach, a mentor—someone who inspired, challenged, and instructed. Yes, we may be able to stumble along on our own, but we sure look foolish doing it. Everyone needs guidance at some point, and it's the people who learn to ask for it sooner that tend to succeed.
