Listen Later

Text Emily!

Do you cringe when you have to ask for help as a business owner? 

Perhaps it's a concern over putting someone else out, a fear that they won't be able to do it as well as you can, a belief you need to be doing it all yourself, or something else that stands in your way of asking for the help you need. 

Most of us can only get so far before we need wave our white flag of surrender and get help and support in our businesses for: 

  • Administrative tasks 
  • Marketing and promotional guidance 
  • Creativity and design elements 
  • Strategic planning and development 
  • Event planning and coordination 
  • Legal and compliance needs 
  • Tech support and backend systems
  • And more! 

Not asking for help can cost you time, money, and energy. It can lead to burnout, stunted growth, decreased productivity, lesser quality, and missed opportunities. 

This episode will give you 5 best practices when asking for help so you can get the very best support for YOU, no matter the solution you're looking for! 

I share: 

  • Why we often struggle to ask for help in the first place 
  • Where we might need help and what it can cost us not to ask 
  • 5 Best practices for finding the right help 
  • FREE and low-cost resources when seeking out for your business 
  • And more!
