Colin Sprake argues that solo entrepreneurs waste time reinventing the wheel and slow their own progress. Find mentors or coaches who can help you move from where you are to where you want to be. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's strategy.
The biggest lies entrepreneurs tell themselves, and you probably said it to yourself today, is that I can figure this out all by myself. I want you to think about this for yourself. When you keep on saying that, you're gonna keep on reinventing the wheel, and it's gonna take you a real long time to get the results that you're looking for. I want you to think about this. Who do you know who can help you? The quickest way to getting yourself ahead and getting the results that you're looking for is to really go out there, find the person that can give you the help that you need to take you from the, you know, from point A to point B the quickest, because doing it by yourself is a lot of hard work. So think about this for yourself. This is not about really getting out there and being really tough on things. It's really about humility. Asking for help is one of the biggest strengths of being a great business owner, 'cause that gets you ahead really, really quickly.
