Today’s topic is about support and how it can accelerate your progress on the dissertation. While the dissertation is a solitary pursuit, it needn’t be a lonely one. It always amazes me how many dissertators feel they are struggling all alone, and that very few people (read: nobody) understands what they’re going through.
While the output of the dissertation must be an independent project, the process of getting there need not be. We all can achieve more together than we can alone.
This was a challenging lesson for me to learn, as I’ve always been the sort of person who felt I could accomplish more by doing things myself. I’m learning, again, and again, that this isn’t the case. The more people I enlist to help me reach my goals, the faster I am accomplishing them.
The same is true for you. Have a statistics conundrum you just can’t solve? Wondering where to find a primary reference source? Want a chance to test out your ideas on others before spending time writing them?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, I’d strongly urge you to join the dissertation forum I just opened up on this site. Frankly, I’m surprised that more people haven’t joined, as this promises to be a great place to get support, make connections, and build your professional team.
If you offer dissertation related services, you might consider letting others know by posting in the "Services Offered" section. If you have a great tip for balancing parenting and the dissertation, don’t keep it to yourself. I know everyone feels a bit awkward about being the first one to start a conversation- I know I did, and I set up the forum in the first place! 
But I do want to remind you that the reason that coaching, training, or forums work is because people are helping other people. If you are feeling like you could use some extra support, I invite you to do the following:
- Reach out to people in your own friends and family circle.
- Join the forum.
- Meet me for the Writing Tips for the Dissertation Teleclass on Jan 31st (details below)
- Consider joining the dissertation coaching membership site at the reduced price
Stop spinning your wheels.
Make real progress, using all the support you can handle.
The more support you have, the faster your dissertation progress.
How’s YOUR support team?
