Why We Think We Need To Be Doing Better
I don't know why it is, but there seems to be so much shame and guilt around asking for help. I hear women say... "I should know better" or "I don't know why I can't just figure this out on my own." But today I'm here to tell you the truth - it is ok to not know every answer! If you want to go from a 6-figure to a 7-figure business, what should you do? Find a coach who has a thriving 7-figure business! It totally wouldn't make sense for you to assume you know how to create a 7-figure business when you've have never had it before. So please let this relieve you of any guilt or embarrassment you may have had around asking for help! It is what we are supposed to do! Plus, I'm sharing how I had to dial 911 recently to ask for help (you seriously won't believe what happened!) "All of a sudden there is this screeching noise coming out of her bedroom..." At minute 0:40, I'm sharing a personal story, that also relates to business, with you that you may have seen on my Instagram stories recently. "I took advice from a 3 year old..." At 5:18, I'm sharing a few problems that you might have in your business now or have done in the past. Plus, we're talking about how often we take advice from people who aren't ahead of us or even in the entrepreneurial world when we shouldn't. "We feel like we should know better, we feel like we should be able to do better..." At minute 8:46, I'm telling you the reason I thought of this podcast and how we can feel guilty about getting help in our business and even our personal lives. "How are you doing this all?..." At 15:32, I'm sharing my message with you on why we should be getting help in the areas where we need it and why I need you to know it's not always as easy as I make it look! If you are looking to work with me in any capacity I have a few options for you! Check out the upcoming Purposeful Positioning Workshop, stacytuschl.com/workshop at the end of July or I have strategy days available to work with you one on one here in Milwaukee. Head over to stacytuschl.com on the Work With Me page for all the details and I hope to see you there!
