I am still trying to strike the happy medium of not depending on other people's wisdom/advice and following my own gut feelings.
I am now leaning to the latter and feeling good about it. This is the second go at my venture and I am following my own lead.
I don't like to ask for help and find assistance that is freely given is usually not the help that I need if that makes sense and borders on interferring.
I did ask my sponsor for help a few months ago and she was fantastic, I felt uncomfortable doing so but she really saved my ass. I was so glad when she needed my help I was able to do so.
