Food for Thought for the week Lean on me - Hallie Crawford

Food for Thought for the week Lean on me Ive been quiet on my blog this past week. I had to make some changes to my support team and I stink at working with HTML so needed someone who could help me with my postings. I am not techno babe when it comes to HTML. Fortunately now, Im back in biz! This past week without having the business support I need, has reminded me of 2 things: 1) During any kind of change, including career transition, you absolutely have to have support. When I was completely changing career paths, from marketing to coaching, I needed my husbands support but forgot to specifically ask for it. I was working in a part time job, coaching on the side, and wasnt doing anything around the house including cooking or shopping for food. Wed decided early on in our marriage that I would cook. He hates to cook and his idea of a meal at that time was macaroni and cheese and a hotdog. You know me, Im a health nut so that doesnt fly. I didnt have time to cook so we started arguing about this. I realized after a few meal discussions that I needed to explain to him that I was in career transition and needed support. We talked, figured out a plan, done. 2) My coaches over time have reminded me of the importance of having support when youre an entrepreneur. Having a solid support team of people makes the difference between treating your business as a hobby vs. a true business. Since Ive had help, my coaching practice has grown by leaps and bounds. AND I felt like I was taking a risk when I initially made the leap in hiring my first VA. This week think about this: Where do you need to ask for support? Where do you hesitate to do so? Its time to overcome that and reach out! Lean on someone. Have a good one. Hallie, Career Coaching Related Posts:Career Support Times ThreePick Your BattlesCreate a Support Team
