episode 99: Ask Me Anything: How To Get Support From Your Loved Ones
If you feel like you are lacking support from your friends and loved ones as you build your business, I want to give you a new perspective that will help you navigate the relationships in your life as an entrepreneur.
It’s true that entrepreneurship can be lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, you’ll learn where to get support, how to create a community of cheerleaders around you, and what to do when the most important people in your life aren’t a source of encouragement.
In this series called, “Ask Me Anything”, I’m answering specific questions from women in our community while also using it as an opportunity to highlight our incredible listeners.

Do not miss these highlights:
01:56 My intent for the summer is to maintain and do the things to keep moving us forward and building that momentum.
02:08 On this episode, let us do the “Ask me anything” series.”
02:33 I talk about what you want, what your challenges are, what your desires are, and where you're at in that season of your business.
03:19 I'm literally taking direct questions and answering them. Making sure that you all feel supported in the way that you deserve.
03:42 I get this all the time, our free content is so good that they can't even imagine what our paid content is like.
04:23 Today's question comes from Beth Olmstead!
04:32 What I also do is highlight the owner of the question. Making sure we're pointing people to you all because I don't want it to just be about me.
04:44 Where we create a shared learning experience in our communities and making sure you guys are taking full advantage of the collaborations.
05:12 It can be lonely in business and not everyone understands the work involved. So we need friendships and support from our own people.
05:36 As an entrepreneur, you likely noticed that growing up, there was an element of you that knew right off you were different.
06:05 I felt like I am a boring person an anytime I am in a social setting, I just felt like I was constantly being judged.
07:55 I want to answer this in two parts. The first part is how to let your non-entrepreneur friends and peers know of ways you would appreciate their support.
08:23 Ultimately, the vision you hold for your life and your business comes from you.
08:55 People are not going to understand what you're building what you're doing. In fact, a lot may think you are going crazy.
09:37 I started to truly understand how my beliefs were being shaped and what I believed to be true was vastly different than the majority of other people.
10:40 The truth is, we don't need validation or permission from other people.
11:27 Why can't people support what I do? Why can't they just get on board?
12:22 There's still the journey toward doing things you've never done which is being able to step into that belief.
12:35 It's a constant process of changing your thoughts about it, Really embodying the full belief of something and operating from that space.
13:30 Why do I feel I need this support? Why do I feel I need this validation?
13:35 It creates a little bit of a separation from the perspective of what you can and cannot share with other people.
14:25 You release that pressure from these people in your life that aren't supporting you to behave in a certain way or give you something that you need.
15:09 You need to build a deeper belief within yourself and build that self-trust so that you always have your own back.
15:45 It’s important to look and watch for in our life is making sure we're getting the things that we need versus constantly putting that power in the hands of other people.
16:20 Things will change in your life because you change your desires, challenges, and conversations.
17:27 You have to find new relationships and new circles where you can allow yourself to experience or feel normalized in what you're going through.
18:32 A lot of times you're gonna grow out of former relationships or former friendships and grow into new ones that can really evolve with where you're going
21:12 I hate this saying, “It's lonely at the top.” It does create that expectation that once you go off and do these things, it will be lonely.
21:47 Your circles might get smaller and they're going to evolve and shift. But there are other people doing it, too.
22:45 When I sat across the room from people that were doing what I wanted to do, or doing what I was doing, I felt so seen and heard.
23:13 I think this is your calling to go inward and build that belief in yourself and that support with yourself.
23:28 You don't have to drop people in your life but bring in new ones that embody the version of you that you would like to become.
23:58 What's so liberating for you and the people in your life is that you don't need anything from them.
24:52 What's more important is that you don't give up on yourself. You don't give up on your desires and you build that myself-trust so you always have your back.
