\"Fund<\/p>\n

I’ve heard it before. Maybe you have too.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard that in order to truly thrive, as a business owner, and as as human, I need to learn to ask for what I need.<\/p>\n

I need to ask for support.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve heard it before, and I’ll hear it again.<\/p>\n

And I’ll keep on hearing it because it’s true.<\/p>\n

And because it’s a lesson I need to learn.<\/p>\n

I need others in order to thrive. I can’t do it alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can’t do it alone.<\/p>\n

I need your help.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And you need mine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However we choose to offer it to each other, our support connects us.<\/p>\n

As a reader, my words support you; as a writer, you support me by experiencing my words.<\/p>\n

I need your support to grow, just as you need mine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I need to ask you for what I need, just as you need to ask me.<\/p>\n

And whether it is provided it a whole other story, and entirely not the point.<\/p>\n

The point is the recognition and the asking.<\/p>\n

So here I go… deep breathe…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Would you like to support my crowdfunding campaign for “Pay What It’s Worth”? I self-published the book and I need your support in funding the creation of printed softcover and ebook formats. <\/em><\/p>\n

You’ll be rewarded for your contribution with a copy of the book (and other lovely rewards), and help enable an evolution in the way we do business and make purchases. The campaign ends on August 8<\/strong> at midnight.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the next four days, to support of the final days of my campaign, I will be publishing an article each day in support of you, in hopes that you may support me too.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love you. Thank you for supporting my writing by reading.<\/em><\/p>\n
