A friend asked me over lunch - How did you grow your business?
If I can reduce it to just one thing, it is “ask for help.”
Whether you like it or not, every #momboss needs help. But we often won’t do it because of these common misconceptions (and I used to have these limiting beliefs too):
1️⃣ We don’t want to be a bother. We don’t want to disturb what others are doing and bring them into our own problems. But people want to be a part of your life. People want to help you.
2️⃣ It makes us feel small. In a culture that preaches self-sufficiency, it can be humiliating to admit you need help. But over the years, I’ve come to see that asking for help is a great strength. It allows me to work more in my zone of genius.
These days, it’s no longer “how can I solve this problem”, it’s “who can help me solve this problem faster and better.” 💯🆙👩🏻💻
And it applies to out-sourcing, hiring or simply getting a coach, so I’m doing things right in a shorter amount of time. ⏰
3️⃣ We think that to be success, we must know all the answers. We do things better than how others would do it. So we ended up doing EVERYTHING! 😵 But truth is, we don’t. We need to adopt a humility that allows us to reach out when we need help.
I’m so grateful for #TeamChillMom for without them, we wouldn’t have grown so much in the last 12 months.
Remember, the easiest way to get the help you need, is simply to ask for it.
Tell me, is there anything I can help you with?
