In this brief monologue, the speaker references a Silver Lining study showing that 73% of surveyed business owners avoid seeking help due to cost and 52% due to lack of time. He adds his own observations that many founders—particularly male founders—also refrain from seeking assistance because of shyness, ego, and an excessive sense of self‑reliance. He concludes with a personal invitation to inquire about his experience.

According to a study by Silver Lining, an organization that specializes in creating tools for entrepreneurs, 73% of business owners surveyed don't seek help because of cost and 52% because of lack of time. In my experience, many founders also don't seek help because they're shy or they have a big ego and an unreasonable sense of self-reliance that make it difficult to admit the need for help. This probably applies more to male founders than female ones though. Ask me how I know.
