In this episode of The Tea and Coffee Hub, Karen Hewitt and Steve Feld tackle one of the most dangerous patterns in entrepreneurship. Refusing to ask for help.

They break down why ego, fear, and the toxic phrase “we’ve always done it this way” keep business owners stuck, overwhelmed, and quietly failing. Karen and Steve share real stories of businesses that collapsed not because the owners lacked talent, but because they refused guidance when it mattered most.

In this episode, they cover:

Why asking for help feels scary but saves businesses

How ego blocks growth and clarity

The four core areas every business needs support in

Why outdated advice can be just as dangerous as no advice

How to find the right coach, expert, or mastermind

What happens when you pay for help but refuse to implement

Why time, not money, is your most expensive resource

Karen and Steve also explain how successful entrepreneurs actually grow. They ask for help early, listen closely, and take action fast.

If your business feels stuck, chaotic, or heavier than it should, this episode is your wake up call.

Grab your tea or coffee and tune in. Help does not make you weak. Avoiding it does.
