My wife Mindy calls it "learned helplessness." And sadly, I've lived seasons where I've been the poster child for it in certain areas of my life. (think she got the term from some reading some wise pschologist types : ) )
Fix the leaking toilet.... What?? How?? Me???
Clear the clog from the sink.... Nah. It will heal itself.
Finish the taxes.... Huh?
And "LH'ers" say out loud or just to themselves things the following mottos:
Just call "The Guy."
Who's "Your Guy?"
What's the number for "The Guy?"
Clearly "The Guy" had something WE didn't have or couldn't access. (and I also learned "The Guy" is the president of "They." As in "That's what THEY say!"
But, as I got older (wiser?) and even became close friends with some of these mythical and legendary "Guys" (Gals too!) I realized
They even rent power tools! WHO KNEW!?

And "LH'ers" say out loud or just to themselves things the following mottos:
I don't know where to start!
I'm clueless!
I feel out of my league!
I don't see a way forward.!

AND it's the same thing for entrepreneurs and those considering launching!
The pros use the right tools! And SO CAN YOU!
The right tools are simple to use, inexpensive and accessible if you're reading this post!
And they will propel you, your business and your vision to make a difference if
1. You're willing to learn (even a little!)
2. You find a list of the best tools from someone who's tried A LOT OF THEM! (Too many!)
3. You try them in real life!
All effective entrepreneurs (especially the online type!) have access to great tools.
HOWEVER, far too many people still think, "I can't do THAT!" Then fill in THAT ______ with *market * podcast *Blog * Create a website *Host a webinar *Create a Sales Funnel *Build a Huge List...
So we work too hard! Or we don't work at all!
And Jesus was clear that He invites us to "make our burdens light" and our way easy! And most of us work way too hard!
Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
And that includes our work!!! So besides Jesus, (He really does!) what can make your work easier???
The right tools!!!
And most today are really SO SIMPLE AND SO INEXPENSIVE.
And if I can do this..... (fill in the blank!)
You just need to be willing to get access to some good ones (Like "The Guy" uses!)
Then use them.
Sound fun!
You can do it!
