TREAD TALKS: They Can’t Help If You Don't Ask

from The Fitness of Business with Leslie Boyce · host Leslie Boyce, MBA

You don’t build strength by standing next to people in the gym.And you don’t build a business community by never asking for help.Finding your people is one thing. Actually leaning on them? That’s harder.In this episode of Tread Talk, I’m talking about why community matters in entrepreneurship — and why so many business owners struggle to truly rely on the people around them.We join networking groups. We attend events. We build connections.But many of us still try to carry everything alone.Using the analogy of a running club, I break down how real community works: not just proximity, but support, accountability, motivation, and momentum.This episode was inspired by my full conversation with Cynthia Moos, who shared that one of the biggest business strengths she wishes she had developed earlier was community — not as a bonus, but as a lifeline.Look at your circle right now. Are you actually leaning on them… or just keeping them nearby without ever asking for help?🔹 New TREAD TALKS drop Mondays & Thursdays🔹 Full-length interviews every Tuesday🌐 https://www.leslieboyce.com📸 https://www.instagram.com/leslieboyce_📧 https://leslieboyce.substack.com✍️ [email protected]
