How Can I Help?
Soooo...
When I ask, "How can I help?"...
I am not just saying it as a filler or sign off.
I really mean it!!!
So often we just need one little thing or another human being to bounce an idea off of...
Am I crazy in thinking this?
When I think of all the times I spent days, weeks, and sometimes months STUCK, procrastinating, making excuses, denying...
And all I really needed was to ASK...
Ask someone...
Ask anyone...
Ask YOURSELF!!!
Been helping people with their businesses for 4 decades now (longer than many of the folks I work with have been alive).
I have seen, heard, and learned so much.
From Disco to Crypto (now AI) someone just reminded me!!!
Watched people and businesses transform before my eyes...while many stayed stuck, languished and eventually died. Which is the actual fate of MOST businesses. (Just checked the most recent statistics...not really improved much!)
A business owner should ask for help long before the business is in crisis—ideally when growth, clarity, or support is needed. Here are key moments when reaching out is smart, strategic, and proactive:
✅ 1. When they’re consistently overwhelmed
If everything feels urgent, there’s no breathing room, and the owner is the bottleneck.
✅ 2. When revenue hits a plateau
Stagnation usually signals a strategic, marketing, or operational issue that outside expertise can uncover.
✅ 3. When they’re doing tasks outside their strengths
Admins, tech, accounting, legal, branding—delegation protects energy and accelerates growth.
✅ 4. When decision fatigue sets in
Confusion, second-guessing, or spinning in circles means it’s time for coaching, mentorship, or peer input.
✅ 5. When growth opportunities appear—but feel too big or risky
Scaling requires support, structure, and perspective.
✅ 6. When the business stops feeling fun, meaningful, or aligned
Emotional and mindset strain is a valid signal—not a weakness.
✅ 7. When finances don’t make sense
Cash-flow challenges, inconsistent income, unclear pricing, or rising expenses require professional guidance.
✅ 8. When systems start breaking
Customer experience, delivery, operations, and team management issues are growth red flags.
The golden rule:
Ask for help at the first sign of friction—not the breaking point.
Getting support isn’t failure—it's leadership, responsibility, and longevity.
If you want, tell me:
  • What stage your business is in
  • What feels heavy, unclear, or urgent right now
…and I’ll help you identify the right kind of support.
Would like to add some Business Review/SWOT Analysis/ Audits to the Weekly Supersize Strategy Sessions...Thoughts???
