This is a YouTube video titled "My biggest regret in business #shorts" containing a monologue where a speaker named Terry shares a personal reflection on their biggest professional regret, which was not activating their network early in their business due to ego. The speaker advises viewers to overcome hesitation in asking for help to grow their business. The content is from October 2022.
We're doing Q and A with Terry and here's the next question. What is your biggest regret? I'm going to have to assume you're talking about my professional life, but let's go into this. I would say this. When I first started my business, I did not activate my network, meaning letting people know that, hey, I have this business and can you help me? And as a result, I struggled a lot more than I should have for the first six months. So why did I not do that? It was mostly ego. I did not want people to think that I was messing up or I was confused, even though all those things were true. But as soon as I raised my hand and said, hey, look, can you help me out? That's when all these leads started coming in. So that's my biggest regret. So don't make the same mistake I did because I know it's hard putting yourself out there asking for help. But here's what's going to happen. Someone's either going to help you or ignore you. It's very unlikely they're going to write back hahaha and put it all over social media. So don't let that hold you back. You're only stopping their ability to grow and help other people at the same time.
