This morning, I was working with a VIP client. I asked her: “What do you need most today?” She laughed and said: “Help me accept help!”

After listing her many challenges for the week, she got serious and said,

“Logically, I know I can't do it alone, but how do I make myself actually believe that?"

I often see Ops heroes stuck in this situation. Taking on every task and forgetting that asking for help is a smart move, not a weakness. Admitting you need help doesn't mean you're incapable. In fact, the key to success lies not in doing it all, but in knowing when to get help.

In this episode, I’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck in solo mode and provide practical steps to take back control of your time and focus on what’s really most important.

Find the full transcript at yourfuturerealized.com/71 . One of the worst pieces of advice I ever got was from a boss who thought being powerful meant being detached. To her, emotions were messy, and leadership was all about cold hard logic. I tried her way during a tough re-org, but it backfired. I felt disconnected from my team, like a malfunctioning robot. I realized that being an effective leader in tough times doesn’t mean shutting down emotions, but acknowledging them, for both my sake and my team’s. Let’s face it: feeling overwhelmed is normal when you’re making tough calls, reorganizing teams, or carrying out orders you might not fully agree with. It’s a heavy burden. And hard emotions are part of being human. In this episode, I’ll tell you why normalizing these emotions matters and walk you through a simple 3-step process to build emotional resilience.…

But as year-end neared, some cracks started to show. Adam had trouble giving feedback and often avoided it altogether. When he did give feedback, it was using the classic 'sandwich' approach: "Your attention to detail is great! It would be good if you could start being more proactive. I’m sure that you’ve got what it takes to get us on track!” His approach was too vague and ineffective. With a crucial OKR falling behind, rolling out new project software, Adam was at a crossroads. He felt like he was walking on eggshells and told me: "I don’t want to make things worse by saying the wrong thing." In this episode, you’ll learn how Adam upgraded his approach to feedback to retake the reins with his team.…

It’s about creating seamless systems, putting the kibosh on bottlenecks and breakdowns, and ultimately driving the organization’s success. It is so satisfying to see a well-oiled machine in action. It’s tempting to treat every problem like it’s urgent. But it’s also draining. It’s like a slow leak in a tire. Eventually, going full throttle can wear you down, particularly without good support systems in place. Even if you can keep it from affecting your work life, it tends to squirt out personally, with sleep and health issues. Even Superman needed his Fortress of Solitude from time to time.
