Hey Reader,

This stuff is hard.

There, I said it. I know I've said it before somewhere, and I'm certain you have thought it, but the reality is, this thing you're trying to do...it's hard.

And sometimes, it's really hard.

Whether you're launching a side hustle, building a business, or still trying to figure out what your creator and/or entrepreneurial venture is going to be, the journey can be lonely, challenging, frustrating, stressful, and can feel downright impossible at times.

This is hard. Don't do it alone. Find your team.

To be clear, when I say "team" I am not referring to hiring employees. While that might be something you need to consider, hiring employees or independent contractors (freelancers), or even finding yourself a partner or two, there are a lot of ways to build yourself a team.

There are also different types of teams you need. There are two specific ones I want you to think about.

1. Your emotional support team.

This can consist of your friends, family, or colleagues who you keep updated and who understand what you're trying to do and are there to cheer you on, pump you up when needed, and support you primarily in an emotional way.

2. Your business support team.

This is where a mentor or coach could come in, or a community or mastermind. You need to surround yourself with people who are on (or have been on) the same journey as you. People you can turn to for targeted advice and specific needs.

Note: Your business support team can also be a great part of your emotional support team.

​

I'll say it again, and continue saying it as much as you need me to - What you're trying to do is hard. You don't need to do it alone...and you shouldn't try to.

Find your team.

If you're having trouble finding your team, hit 'reply' and let me know. I'd love to help if I can.
​

I hope this helps
