Asking for Help - Journeypreneur Podcast Ep. 150

Hey everyone, it’s Sensei Victoria Whitfield here, your journey partner in business, welcoming you back to episode 150 of the Journeypreneur Podcast. This is your source for channeled holistic stress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.

So the title of this podcast episode is simple yet profound, it is this: Asking for Help.

Asking for help. Let's do it. Okay, so this is a podcast episode that is dedicated to all of the people that I know and love, who are just like me, who don't ask. There's no way that we're gonna be asking for help. Nope!

If it's gotta be done right I gotta do it by myself, right? If it is to be it's up to me! Come on now. Anything my mind can conceive and believe it can achieve - thanks, Napoleon Hill. Right? I'm a conscious creator. My thoughts are things and I control my reality. I'm not gonna ask for help!

Oh my gosh. So this is also for those of you who are listening to our last Podcast Episode - Episode 149 on Stress Eating - where I shared my story about, gosh, how my weight climbed up to higher than it has ever been before in 2020, due to the positive and negative stresses that I was experiencing, and I left you with a cliffhanger. I left you with a cliffhanger of like “oh and then I got help” and then and podcast ends Haha! No.

So I'm gonna pick up right where we left off. Because I know I'm obviously the only person on the planet, who has trouble asking for help. And I also know that I am a unique unicorn in the entire universe that when I do ask for help, I suck at receiving it. And so, this is, again - I hope you can smell the sarcasm filling the room - I hope it serves you to hear about, you know, my maladies and I hope you're laughing at me from far away wherever you're listening in the world - sending you so much love! No matter what I am here to open my heart, so that you can feel inspired and safe to do the same.

So with that, asking for help. So in the first part, and I explained this in the last podcast episode, what got me to asking for help was hitting a rock bottom point in my experience so hard that I could admit, “I don't know what I'm doing.” Now, you have to understand, like, if you look at all of my, like, you know, IQ tests, Myers Briggs, Kolbe, StrengthsFinder, even my astrology, my human design, if you look at all of the reports on how Victoria is built, even if you look at my, my Rocket Fuel Visionary-Integrator tests, how Victoria Sensei Victoria Whitfield is wired is to be highly visionary, and highly integrative.

It's, I remember, especially when I took that assessment from the Rocket Fuel book, the Visionary and the Integrator tests. I took them, and I was pissed because I got the same results 74 and 75 on both tests. I'm like “are you kidding me!?” So I'm wired to not only have like quickstart energy but also to get it done. What the heck, right? Also, gosh, I could be considered a bit of a personal growth and development junkie. And because I do, as we shared in the last podcast episode, I have a bit of an addictive personality, I know whenever they're like in the group coaching progress for entrepreneurs, they're like, “who here's high on the QuickStart” and then most of the room raises their hands, and then uh for me on quickstart I'm a six out of 10 so I'm not high, I'm like a 4664 if y'all know Kolbe, then there's, like, “Who here isn’t” it's like, you know, like, six and under or mid range stuff like that or low, and then me and like a couple, like maybe one or two, maybe five people out of the group will raise their hands out of like a couple hundred people.

And so, it's, this is, this is a blessing and a curse, a blessing and a curse. Because, okay, if you go to VictoriaWhitfield.com and you're like “oh, Victoria, I like your website, who did it?” I'll say, “I did.” And this is something that I'm smiling, and so pissed off about, like, “oh, Victoria love your email template, who did that?” “I did.” “Oh, Victoria. I like how you do your social media on Instagram, who set that up for you? Who did you study with?” ...no I figured that out, like, no. So, I am the queen of do it yourself.

I know HTML and I can read CSS and some JavaScript and stuff like that. So, and when I'm talking to my marketing team that I've paid tens of thousands of dollars now to do the thing I'm like - and they know me now - so I'm like, “Alright. Are y'all gonna do that, or do you want me to do it?” And they're like, “No, Victoria you paid us to do it” and I'm like “well I don't know, I could just --" and on my end I have to kind of smack myself. Stop. Stop!

Take your hands off the keyboard. Victoria, get out of Canva. Stop it! Stop. You don’t need to do the graphic design. Sure, I have a designer, but I'm not supposed to be doing that, right, because mine versus the professional’s design? There's a whole ‘nother flavor to it.
