Being a small business owner or entrepreneur can be a lonely road.

Sometimes, I feel like that lonely road is why so many of us give up on our dreams when it comes to being a small business owner.

And I’m here to tell you one of the ways to survive is simply, not being afraid to ask for help.

When it’s your first time as a small business owner, asking for help on a product or service launch is usually not an option.

I often see many new business owners pack up their products/services and quit for a few specific reasons:

1. They are not getting the result they wanted when it comes to their social media. Remember, social media is a relationship building tool, not a sales tool.

Yes, we get social media gratification with the likes, comments, and shares but during your first launch, it may be crickets in the beginning. People need to warm up to the idea that you’re serious, therefore when you feel your launch failed, it is more about the fact you gave into instant gratification rather than being consistent.

2. They are afraid to ask for help from the people in their lives and around them.

Instead, they spend their time building relationships the wrong ways such as directly messaging their ideal clients instead of leaning on friends, family, or colleagues to effectively help get the word out.

They tend to neglect the relationships of people they know for “hanging out in the DMs.”

What if… you reached out to past clients and business friends and asked for help with your launch of your product or service? What’s the worst that could happen? That they say no? Sure, it happens! But what if they said, YES?

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to help and encourage you to build your own hype squad to expand your social reach.

We’ll go in-depth on the ins and outs of developing your hype squad circle, building relationships with those you’ll want in your circle, and what you’ll need to give your circle of trust to support your business.

This is all leading up to a training happening on Feb 15 at 3:30 pm to get you moving and develop your own Hype Squad to get more reach when it comes to promoting a launch or awareness of your business.
