Don't be a fool, ask for support
Happy April Fools Day!
What I know for sure is that we can build a business alone, but we can also significantly accelerate our path to success when we ask for support. This isn't just about lightening the load; it's about opening up a world of possibilities and potential that we may not have even considered.
Looking back to my first jobs, I always had a mentor or someone who was my go-to person when I needed help. My first exposure to beginning my self-development journey was in corporate America. I was introduced to greats such as Norman Vincent Peale and Zig Ziglar. John Maxwell's introduction came when I became an entrepreneur in 1995. I was hooked (I mentioned that last week).
Even when I was building my direct sales business, although we had so many mentors who were willing to guide us, I always hired an outside coach. I really can't remember when I was without one.
Today is not about hiring me as your mentor/coach but helping you identify the areas of your life and business where you feel stagnated or moving at a snail's pace. Where could you use another set of eyes on what you are doing? Who could identify what you cannot see for yourself?

I feel like I'm not getting anywhere
I have been at this for a while now, and I feel stuck
I have been doing all of the things, and still no "luck."
I sometimes feel like just giving up and getting a job
I feel it might be easier to go to work for someone else
Maybe it would be easier to get a steady paycheck
Ugh, no, I don't really want to go to work for someone
I really feel that I would miss the flexibility
I really feel that I would be disappointed in myself for quitting
I know I am here to make a bigger impact on the world
I know I started my business to make a difference
I know that most successful people I know hire someone to help
I know most successful people have coaches and advisors
I know I can find a way to make it affordable
I know I will find the right person for me
I know when I decide, the right person will show up
I know I have to decide first
I know I will keep going down this rabbit hole of despair if I don't
I am going to make a decision right now to take action
I am going to decide right now that I need help
I am going to decide right now that I will ask for support
I am asking for support
I am asking for support
I am asking for support
Today!
I know you are no fool! It's OK to ask for help. I'm happy to support you and will even suggest a coach if I'm not your person.

Live the Joyfilled Life you Love,
