what has helped you the most

Tough (Question) Tuesday Who/what has helped you the most You Is Kindinspired by The Help by In His Grace Ooh, its a very new format for Tough (Question) Tuesday! While youll still get the stand-alone, straight-to-the-point tough question youre used to each week, itll be accompanied by answers from various peeps in my tribe. Ill be switching off each week asking the questions to those whove followed me on Twitter, fanned me on Facebook, joined my Clubhouse, worked with me for 12 sessions (I call em my When I Grow Up Grads!) and sponsored this here blog! Im so excited to start this off with my May blog sponsors,  amazeballs entrepreneuresses all! Going into May, Im totally totally totally focused on Support: the type Im getting from my family as I prepare to go in for my Fresh Boob surgery (as my husband calls it)  on 5/30, the type Im getting from my Virtual Wizard thatll force/allow me to delegate and keep the wheels moving in my business as Im on a 2+ week break (I have a feeling thisll lead to some really really good long-term effects that wouldnt have happened otherwise), and the type Im getting from my friends and my tribe in the form of much love, check-ins, Thinking Of Yous and donations to my team for the Avon walk. It made me ask my blog sponsors: Who/what has helped you the most?   Stacy of  Stacy Kathryn: For me who/what has helped me the most is the community. Finding other creative people who support, and help push me to realize my potential. I found a community in a few different place:  interacting on  blogs, e-courses, attending workshops, your coaching sessions and facebook  group, and connecting with others through social media (twitter, facebook,  instagram, pintrest, even etsy).  The sharing of ideas, and helping to support others, has proved invaluable. Sarah of ThreadWritten Textiles: I would have to say that my work with you, Ms. Michelle, has been the biggest help to hone in on what I wanted to create and take action. Your enthusiasm, support, and way of simplifying what often seems complicated or possible only after x, y, and z (just go ahead and launch the indiegogo campaign!) made all the difference in working step by step to be where I am now: getting ready to spend June in Hungary and Romania! Thank you! Patty of  The Plaid Cupcake: My short-answer would have to be.drumroll.Etsy. Etsy has made it possible for so many people to share their passion with people all over the world- opening their eyes up to a creative world that goes beyond your big-box stores. Etsy ALSO lead me to YOU and a whole other awesome community of artisans that have become my support network. April of Everything Little Miss: My mom and my husband are probably my biggest supporters, and they have really helped me accomplish so much! My mom because she provides honest feedback about my designs, helping me make sure only the best get printed. Shes also helps me think through all sorts of ideas and problems. My husband because everyday he tells me hes proud of me. That little bit of daily positive feedback is amazing. Plus, hes my assistant whenever I need one (which is often), and he never complains. Holly of Holly KnitLightly: At the risk of sounding like Im just TOTALLY sucking up (haha!), Ive gotta say you, Michelle!   We started working together when I was first starting out with blogging you really helped push me into blogging my business!   I was so nervous to start out but you helped calm my fears and Im SO thankful for deciding to sign up and work with you.   You showed me that I could do what I want to do accomplish my goals.   So, THANK YOU! OK, your turn! Ill meet you in the comments with your answer to the question Who/what has helped you the most?  and will add my own answer! Wanna be a sponsor? Shoot me an email at michelle@whenigrowupcoach.com and Ill shoot ya the info! Figuratively, of course. -  Because my surgery was pushed back 2 weeks from what I originally thought it was gonna be, I now have 10 open coaching spots between 5/9-5/22 ( then not again til July).
