It's me, I was the problem.
Okay, sometimes I still am - but I've come a long way.
This little clip is good for a giggle, but in all honesty, asking for help was a big reason I started Rosé & Hustle.
Going out on my own, 10 years ago, it was awkward and scary. I never knew who I was allowed to ask for help, and I didn't want to make things weird or annoy anyone. So I floundered a lot. I struggled constantly. And while yes, that's part of the journey and how you learn, it also doesn't need to be that hard.
And then I discovered people who wanted to help. I found women through Facebook Groups (rare, but true), networking events, and just out in the wild. I invited them to coffee. We shared experiences, struggles and hopes, while helping each other brainstorm and problem solve. It was a two-way street and it was incredibly energizing.
So I wanted more. I looked for places where I could build these types of relationships with other business owners. In 2019, it just wasn't around, I couldn't find anything. Every networking event I went to was aggressive and just too big. So I decided to create something of my own. But then the world decided it wasn't the right time (2020).
But I kept dreaming, planning, planting seeds. Eventually in March 2023, I took a chance and put an Event on Eventbrite. A handful of women showed up - much to my surprise - and it was such a special evening. That's when I realized I had found what I wanted to do. Bring women together. Encourage conversation, partnerships, brainstorming, curiosity and learning - all the things that inspired me from my coffee chats.
So here we are 3 1/2 years later. (IMHO) There is no better place to find female entrepreneurs on the same page, women who are truly interested in supporting each other. Offering their experiences, advice, recommendations.
So if asking for help is a challenge, and if you are looking for a community of women who are willing to make asking easier - this is it. Come find us
