In this video, Barbara Hemphill shares a personal reflection on her entrepreneurial journey and the power of collaboration. When Barbara first started her company, she named it Barbara Hemphill Associates because she knew that no matter what she did, she couldn’t do it alone.

Barbara often jokes that her first "associate" was actually her hairdresser, as many of her early business opportunities came from connections she made while giving speeches. Reflecting on this, she is deeply grateful for the people who supported her work over the years.

Barbara reminds us that we are all part of something bigger and that we weren’t meant to do things alone. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of wisdom. It takes strength to recognize when we need support and courage to reach out for it.

Who do you need to ask for help? Don’t let pride or fear hold you back. Remember, asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Let’s embrace collaboration and teamwork, knowing that we can accomplish far more together than we can on our own.
