I dangle a Snickers bar on a short string hanging from a yardstick that I carry, pointing in front of me.
Lead follow or get out of the way 
Looks good to me! Sometimes you just have to go it alone!
I have to do that occasionally but either way I'll have to do what is needed anyhow.
Several years back I had a really aggravating, nasty job that had to be done. I could have paid somebody lots of money to do it but didn't have the money. I then remember $200 left under the mattress on my side of the bed (down at the foot end, if you need to know) and used that to motivate myself: great starter on buying myself a gun. Motivated!! Several days of buckling down doing the work finally resulted in its completion which certainly shocked my better half. On the next Saturday I offered to take her out for lunch, much to her surprise, but she figured it all out when we stopped by the gun store on the way home with that $200 burning a hole in my pocket (the rest went on my credit card).
Now when I volunteer to do some difficult job at home the first thing she asks is, "Are going to try to get a new gun out of this?" I refrain from saying, "Ain't no TRY to it!"
Funny, my dog will take the lead in her mouth when she wants to change direction we're walking in. Who's leading who?
"Whatever, Darrell! If you're not ready to go I'm leaving without you."
