Are you brave enough to ask for help? Adam Nugent and Kate Strong sat down with Earl Foote, founder and CEO of Nexus IT Consultants, who has made a recognizable name for himself in his community. He opened up about the challenges that can come with running a business and how they can stem from personal self-doubts. We learned from Foote that no one can do everything by themselves, and it’s important to ask for help when you need it. Once you do, it’s amazing the success and happiness that can unfold! In this podcast excerpt, Earl Foote
Adam Nugent:
There are things in my career that I do day to day that I can’t stand, and I’m trying to get into a place where I’m not doing those things and I’m surrounding myself with people that love it and thrive in that world so I can thrive. I’d love it more expansion as far as the pros and cons of relying on yourself.
Earl Foote:
If I’m honest, this might be an area of my journey where I’ve made the most mistakes. I am a very independent kind of guy, and I’m a guy who always has had this feeling of not wanting to rely on others or burden others.
Even though there have been available resources or people sometimes to help, oftentimes I just have continued down my path my way. And yes, there there are pros to that, but there are also cons. That’s one of the things I would share with people who are working on achieving something new. Look for support networks and allow others to help you along the way, certainly in business. As you scale and grow a business, you have to bring in other people and other leaders, and you have to delegate . . . or you bottleneck the thing.
