When you have a question that you need the answer to and Google just doesn't do it for you, ask your network. Networking is one of the most important aspects of business success. Get involved in LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. and you can put a question out to the universe and get many answers back. It is amazing how much people are willing to share with each other.
We can tend to get caught up in, "I should be the expert so people will come to me". However, I am finding that people have more respect for people that ask questions rather than always just answering. The links and respect you can build by asking are amazing.
Most communication or sales seminars will tell you to listen more and talk less. This same theory applies here. Asking others to give you answers and giving them the ability to "talk" will make personal gains for you. Don't worry about people thinking you don't know things. The real take is that you respect others and are interested in them.
