The Power of Asking

One of the secrets to achieving your dreams is to never stop asking. Many people are hesitant to ask for help because they feel like they are imposing or that they should be able to do everything themselves. However, this is not the case. Asking for help shows that you are humble and acknowledge that you cannot do everything on your own. 

Listen in as Juliette talks about how seeking out help from others can give you great insights and new perspectives that will help you achieve your goals. So don't be afraid to ask for help – the rewards will be worth it!
