The Power of Asking for Help: How LA'BOND (WE CONNECT) Came to Life ππ€✨
Dreams are easy to have, but bringing them to life? That’s where the real challenge begins. Many people carry big dreams in their hearts — dreams of starting their own brands, building companies, or creating something that leaves a mark on the world. But for most, those dreams remain just that — dreams. Why? Because of fear. Fear of asking for help.
We’re taught that asking for help is a sign of weakness. That seeking support, whether financially, emotionally, or even just for ideas, makes you look vulnerable. The thought of people laughing at you or judging you can be paralyzing. So, what happens? People try to do it all alone. They struggle silently, carrying the weight of their ambitions on their backs. And what could have taken five years ends up taking a lifetime — if it even happens at all.
A Graveyard of Dreams
Let’s be honest — the biggest collection of unrealized dreams isn’t found in the minds of the living. It’s in the graves. So many ideas that could have changed the world were buried with the people who never got the chance to make them a reality. Not because they weren’t good enough, but because they believed they had to walk the journey alone.
But here’s the truth: asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you smart. It shows strength to admit that you don’t know everything and that you can’t do everything alone. In fact, seeking help is the first big step toward making your dream come to life.
My Journey: Asking for Help Without Guilt
For me, asking for help has never been something to be ashamed of. I’ve asked for financial help for years without guilt or embarrassment, to the point where people got used to it. Some called me poor. Others labeled me a beggar. There were even those who said I was weak, claiming I couldn’t support myself. But you know what? I knew what I wanted, and I knew where I was headed.
It wasn’t easy, and it’s not going to be easy for you either. But with the right team, you’ll make it. What I’ve learned is that everyone asks for help — they just don’t talk about it. You’ll see successful people in interviews boasting about how they "made it" without once mentioning the people who helped them get there. Let’s be realistic: no big brand or billionaire made it alone.
If countries ask for help, if massive corporations take out loans, why are you afraid to reach out? Help comes in different forms. Companies ask banks for loans. Employers ask for help by hiring people to market, produce, and sell their products. Yet, no one calls them weak. Instead, we glorify CEOs and billionaires while overlooking the support teams behind them — the real engines of success.
The Hidden Hands Behind Success
Let me tell you a secret: most CEOs and so-called billionaires don’t even handle the day-to-day work in their companies. Their job is to carry the vision while the support team handles the rest. From finances to sales, bookkeeping to transport, these teams make the dream a reality. What you call "employees," I call help. Without them, companies would shut down in a second. No one can multitask to that level and succeed alone.
And let’s not forget the most crucial form of help: customers. Every company needs customers to thrive. Without clients buying products or using services, even the greatest ideas will fail. Every sale is a form of support, and every loyal customer becomes part of the journey.
The LA'BOND Story: We Connect
Take LA'BOND (WE CONNECT) as an example. When I started it seven years ago, it was just a vision. I had this burning desire to build something meaningful — a brand that connected people, ideas, and creativity. But the road wasn’t easy. There were moments of darkness when giving up felt like the only option.
What made the difference? The people who stood by me.
I had a support system — people who believed in the dream, who shared ideas, and who were there to lift me up when things got tough. Some supported me financially, others emotionally. When things felt impossible, they reminded me why I started. Together, we shared the burden and the losses. And when the wins came, they tasted sweeter because we achieved them as a team.
The Beauty of Shared Dreams
When you open yourself up to help, something beautiful happens. You start seeing things from different angles. You learn faster. You make smarter decisions. The journey becomes lighter, and the dream becomes clearer. Suddenly, what once seemed impossible becomes achievable.
Asking for help doesn’t mean giving up control. It means building a team. And with the right people by your side, the journey becomes more than just reaching the destination — it becomes an adventure.
A Dream Realized
Today, LA'BOND stands as a testament to the power of connection. It’s more than a brand; it’s a living, breathing dream that came to life because of the people who believed in it. And trust me, the journey is far from over. There’s still more to build, more to create, and more lives to touch.
So, if you’re sitting on a dream, wondering if you should take the next step — this is your sign. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. The road to success isn’t meant to be walked alone. Reach out, build your team, and watch your dream grow wings.
Because the only thing scarier than asking for help is looking back years from now and wondering what could have been.
Let’s connect. Let’s build. Let’s dream.
