57. The Magic of Asking for Help

The Quiet Warrior Podcast with Serena Low

In this episode, I dive into the struggles that many introverts face when it comes to asking for help. Drawing from my own experiences as a former lawyer and now a coach and midlife mentor, I explore why asking for assistance can often feel like a sign of weakness, and how overcoming this mindset can be transformative—especially for introverts in business and leadership roles.

Key Points:

  1. The stigma of asking for help
  2. Working for others vs. working for yourself
  3. The importance of outsourcing and delegation
  4. Reframing the role of a business owner
  5. Developing a “CEO mentality”

Key Takeaways:

  • Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a strategic move to strengthen your business or career.
  • Introverts can thrive by leveraging their strengths and outsourcing tasks that don't align with their core skills.
  • Viewing yourself as a CEO can help you make better decisions about delegation and collaboration.
