Understanding When to Seek Outside Help (and When Not to), Including Coaching, Courses, and More
Show Notes

Have you ever purchased a course, expecting it to make your business or life complete, and been upset because you feel like you didn't learn anything new? Have you ever received some advice and thought to yourself "that doesn't feel right at all?" Have you ever felt like you should just stop asking for advice because it's never actually helpful? In this episode, I want to address all of those scenarios and more.

I discuss why we often end up feeling so frustrated and upset... and how sometimes it's actually our own fault. How sometimes, perhaps, we shouldn't be looking for outside help. Not because that help isn't valuable or "right," but because you already have the answers within you, and asking around isn't going to help you. Sometimes we have to just listen to ourselves. Sometimes we have to just do the work we already need to do. To stop looking for excuses or a different, easier solution.

And, of course, there are times when it's so extremely valuable to receive outside help, whether that's from a coaching call, a workshop, a membership community, a course, or a trusted friend. So how do you know when to ask for outside help and when not to? Tune into this episode of Pattern Design Circle for all the deets!

And if you're looking for some outside help with your knitting or crochet pattern design business, whether it's with your marketing, business, or designing, you can book a 1:1 coaching call with me! On the website, you'll also see I'm currently offering a limited time Coaching Bundle for 25% off for the month of May (2023).
