Sometimes, it can be hard to ask for 'help,' especially for small business owners; some think this shows weakness, and broadcasts to others that there are certain things you can't accomplish alone. That may feel contrary to many entrepreneurs' mindsets of 'going at it alone,' or 'being self-made,' etc, etc.
👉If that's you, you're not alone! If saying, "Could you help me with..." feels awkward to you too, instead try, "Could WE WORK TOGETHER on...?"
Don't be shy about asking for help. This is a skill that can be hard to master, but it's one of the most important things you can do when networking. If you are not comfortable with asking people directly for what you need, try saying something like "I've been looking at your website and noticed that you do X. Does this mean that your company does Y?" Then go on from there with questions based on their answers. ✨💛✅
