Learning To Ask For Help

First things first, there is nothing wrong with asking for help. In fact, as your business grows, your family changes, and your life evolves, you’ll need more help than you could ever imagine. I talk about it all the time but I knew I had to dedicate an episode to learning to ask for help.    I’ve mentioned it a few times on the podcast, but one of the first things that I outsourced was house cleaning. We have a toddler, large dogs, and horses. We need to have a clean house. But as the business has grown, I’ve had less time and much less desire to be the one that makes sure everything is spic and span.    Having that one day a week that I know the house will be spotless helps me manage one portion of my anxiety which is truly an amazing benefit.    Next I had to start outsourcing some of the tasks in my business. I knew that I needed help with the business, so I had to step out of my comfort zone and let go of some of the pieces. Needless to say, the business has begun to grow more and more steadily as I removed some of the pieces from my plate.    I’ve also started being more open about needing to ask for help in my personal life. I’ve always had general anxiety disorder but becoming a business owner and a mom has thrown some things my way that I needed to address.    So I’ve asked for help in those ways too.    More than anything, before you start getting help in areas, ask yourself if the fear of asking for help outweighs the benefits of receiving support. If your answer is no, then it’s time to start reaching out!   Have questions? DM on Instagram and I’d be happy to chat with you about it!
