Let me know how this helped you

Ever felt like you're shouldering the world's weight all by yourself? You're not alone. In today's upbeat episode of the Annoyingly Optimistic Show, we kick off our fresh new season with a hard-hitting truth: it's okay to ask for help. Through a heartfelt voicemail left for my friend Tim, who's been having a tough time running his small business, we explore how reaching out to others can be the ultimate game-changer. I even share my own lightbulb moment when I finally decided to contact an old acquaintance, saving me hours of frustration and dead-ends. Get ready to discover why letting go of pride and tapping into the wisdom of others can turn your struggles into triumphs.

Expect a mix of inspiration and practical advice as we break down the barriers that stop us from seeking assistance. If you're feeling stuck, this episode is your friendly nudge to remember that you don't have to go it alone. Whether it's competitors, experts, or just someone who's been there, there are people out there willing to offer a helping hand. Tune in to hear why seasoned professionals are often eager to share their hard-earned insights and learn how to spot the genuine helpers from those who hold back. Let's turn Tim's rough patch—and maybe your own—into a stepping stone for success.

The majority of 'business advice' out there isn't aimed at self-employed or micro businesses, following it leaves you frustrated and chasing quick fixes. I specialise in tools, systems, techniques, inspiration and help specifically designed for YOU, the person who has to do it all, who doesn't have a team of people, unlimited resources or the time to spend months learning complicated techniques.
