One thing I’m not great at doing is asking for help. It’s a shame thing: I grew up in a “do it on your own” and “real men don’t need help” culture, and it’s stuck with me to this day.

Right now, being a new dad has turned out to be much tougher than I imagined. Lucie and I don’t have much support, so it’s basically just us with a lovely yet very sensitive baby who struggles to sleep. I’ve been sleep-deprived for about 5 months and it’s taking its toll.

I spend up to 5 hours per day just actively managing Chloe’s sleep via rocking and walking the buggy, and have been reduced to working only a few hours per day, including coaching sessions. While this is survivable, it means the growth of my business and BROJO has pretty much stopped, and is now just plateauing along.

So I’m going to swallow my pride and ask you for help. Or, more accurately, let you know how you can help me and BROJO if you ever feel so inclined.
