Help

When we were young and in school, we were always told to ask for help from classmates and teachers.

As we started working, we had colleagues and seniors who we could seek out.

But when you're running your own business, it is a different animal. Not everything has a reference, not all cases have a ten-year series where you can just walk into a bookstore to get the answers.

Years back, when COVID first hit and the world shuts down. Many were lost on what to do, some figured it out and their businesses continued. Some drown and are still in debt after many years.

There is no one solution for every problem, just keep seeking help, offer yours to others, and up everyone's chance to survive better and build your support community. Get a mentor, or an advisor, pay for consultancy, go to events, talk to people, ask questions, join business groups, etc.

The situations are always changing so fast that we are still figuring out what to do, while the problems pile up on top of each other. And that is the world that we are living in now.

Ask for help, pay for help but just get help. Don't let what started with a bang, end drastically with a whim.

Get help. Spend that money before it ends up nothing.
