Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

How hard is it to ask for help? For me, it’s nearly impossible. Earlier this year, I reached out to a colleague — a fellow speaker — and asked for a pep talk. I felt like I was doing everything the wrong way, and I needed to hear some kind words. I promised not to take up too much of his time. He responded back that he was pretty busy with his super-successful life, right now, but I could sign up for one of his coaching classes and he could help me.
