Why Everyone Needs A Business Bestie
On today’s episode, we discuss what a business bestie is, why you need one, and how to find them. Everyone will benefit from a business bestie differently, but here are some of our favorite reasons for needing and maintaining this special relationship.
They Support Your Aspirations
The best thing about a business bestie is she feels your pain and gets the struggle because she’s either going through or has gone through the same thing herself. I’m not going to lie, I love my friends, but the majority of them don’t really want to spend their free time discussing the pains of algorithms or whether or not the branding for a certain product is reaching my ideal audience. Your business bestie is an awesome sounding board for ideas and inspiration and best of all, can make sure you’re on the right path.
They Bring You Back Down to Earth
This goes hand in hand with being supportive—your business bestie will also smack some sense into you when you need it. If you get too emotional or the doubt starts to overwhelm you, this gal should be your very first call. We all need a little tough love sometimes, and your business bestie knows exactly what you need to hear.
They Inspire You to Keep Moving
When you see someone you admire succeed, it pushes you to keep going. Their success is an inspiration (and reassurance!) to you that you’re not just spinning your wheels. You know the saying, “To be a success, surround yourself with positive, successful people.” It’s human nature to simply coast along if we aren’t being pushed. If your business bestie and other boss babes are constantly succeeding and growing, you’ll be amazed to see the ripple effect it has on your own life.
They Bring a Fresh Perspective
Have you ever gotten so wrapped up in the idea of an idea that you lose sight of the actual concept? It’s a common problem among visionaries. Sometimes, we just don’t want to see the logistics or realities blocking our way. A business bestie can offer a unique insight without bias, which can propel your vision forward in ways you never even imagined. Two heads are better than one, right?
Your business bestie will be one of the most amazing relationships you’ve ever had, and the bond between the two of you is unlike any other. They will love and support you, push you to be a better boss babe and ultimately have a huge impact on the success of your business.
