Take it…

If you always give others support, read this…

Take It…

You know when you’re the fixer and sometimes, it is hard to be vulnerable?

Then read this.

I was on phone with a prospect.

Another female founder. This one has years of experience in the nonprofit space, she’s a media guru, a sought after speaker, and a community organizer.

She’s a woman of many talents!!!

Apparently, she’s a fixer, like many codependents.

We got talking about her book launch and business restructuring plans before her birthday.

We made a list of people she can talk to, to raise funds for her project.

But guess what she said…

(Let’s assume her name is PR)

PR: I don’t know if I can ask people for the funds I need.

Me: (Interrupting politely) But you are always ready to help others right?

PR: Yes, I also give funds to support others.

So here’s my reflection of the conversation with this prospect.

I am working multiple deadlines, and I was beginning to lose track of some things.

Between reaching out to organizations for speaking engagement opportunities, to completing books drafts, to trying to find a journal for my recent paper 📑, to creating content for our company, to finding investors, managing a crowdfunding, to meeting with team members and partners, and also keeping up with family and friends.

It is alot!

I knew I needed help.

I sent a dm to a previous student, and asked if she could be my accountability partner.

She said “yes”

While I even hesitated asking for help- I knew I couldn’t keep up with things on my own.

So, there’s always that reluctance to ask for support, especially if you are the one people come to, to receive support.

Even a therapist sometimes, needs a ther

Take it.

Take the help.

Take the support because if you always give, you should never feel bad about taking.

And sometimes, just ask- and as soon as it’s in sight, TAKE IT!

What are you probably struggling with, that TAKING that help from someone who looks up to can make all the difference?
