Asking for help is hard AF

I'm writing this email off of a solid 2.5 hours of sleep, a stomach full of animal crackers and a helluva lot of caffeine.

​

Now I knew these days (and nights) would come as a new mom, but if I'm being honest - they've also come as a new and even experienced biz owner.

​

As a self-proclaimed high achiever, it's pretty damn close to impossible for me to ask for help. It's likely the ONLY trait of mine that drives my husband insane 😏. I will literally try and handle everything myself, and be on the verge of an entire menty-b before I even consider asking him or anyone else to do something for me.
​

That has carried over into biz life.
​

Often times my reasoning for NOT asking for help is because I'm convinced that:

  • I can do it myself faster
  • It would take me more time to explain to someone else so I might as well just do it
  • I'm burdening someone by asking for help (even the ppl I pay in biz)
  • It won't be done how I would do it

​

Sound familiar at all? lol but by NOT asking for help, I'm not just giving myself a ton of unnecessary stress, but I'm limiting myself from what else I could be doing.

As a biz owner - not asking for help usually leads to:

  • Burnout
  • Resentment + frustration that you aren't quite where you want to be or that if only you had the time you could achieve your next goal
  • Comparison to competitors sharing their new revenue goals + milestones (fyi - goals that they probably didn't reach without HELP!)
  • An endless hamster wheel of chaos - you ultimately become stuck DOING and have no time for rest, strategy or even dreaming

​

Yes, asking for help is hard AF but even as a solopreneur it's what will help you to simply free up your mental capacity to actually get shit done, without you having to do them.

​

Inside of the Business Systems Glow Up, I position myself as your thought partner. I want you to share the burden of DOING, and allow me to take your vision, your painpoints, your desires, and do the DOING lol.

​

I require 2hrs of your time to discuss where you are now, where you want to go, and how I can custom curate systems, tech and strategy deliverables to help you get there.

​

You walk away not just feeling supported, but finally being able to take that extra time off, launch that new offer, raise your prices or simply not do a damn thing because you have simple, efficient and supportive systems in place!

​

Let's talk through your own custom Glow Up Strategy and secure your 2025 kickoff!

Projects I'm working on this week πŸ‘€

I'm matching Dubsado's energy by extending my BF sale!

Deliverable #2 of 18 for my Biz Systems Glow Up client is to create a custom Airtable base that allows them to use an Airtable form as a lead application with conditional logic + custom email routing. This will allow them to further automate their lead qualification process in a way that Dubsado just can't do right now. Once the lead is qualified THEN they'll be added to Dubsado for the rest of the process to begin!

​

I kicked off a new DFY Tech Setup client as well who has been managing their growing design biz manually. From sending proposals + invoices, to onboarding - I'll be working over the next 3 weeks to automate every possible touchpoint.

​

HB is under fire right now and a lotttt of people are considering jumping ship. To make that transition a little smoother, all of my Dubsado (well, and all the other tools lol) templates are 40% off now through the end of 12/16.

​

Share this gift with yourself lol or any of your peeps looking to make the transition!

​

Until next time! Happy Automating!

I'm Ashley, CEO & Founder of Solution Integrators - I help female entrepreneurs scale beyond six figures through the power of client journey improvements, systems automation, and project management support. In a nutshell, I make sure you're secret sauce is showcased throughout every phase of your client journey.The key to really creating an experience that brings in referrals is making sure your clients feel seen, heard, and supported within every checkpoint. I like to encourage people to think through their best and worst experiences with another service provider - what made that experience so great and what could you have done without. Don't overlook the small things - include a custom video in your proposal to make sure the potential client knows that you listened and understood their key painpoints. Don't take their money and run lol after onboarding make sure they know exactly what they can expect to happen next, and when. And once a project is wrapped up, incentivize them for coming back or sending folks back to you
