I’ve never been great at this...
And I still struggle
I’ve never been great at asking for help.
For the longest time, I believed I had to figure things out on my own. Whether it was starting my business, launching new projects, or handling the pressure—I felt like I had to carry the load.
But over time, something shifted.
I was working on a major project, and I hit a wall. It was a critical moment, and I just didn’t know how to move forward.
So, for the first time, I asked for help. I shared my struggle openly, which wasn’t easy for me. But something unexpected happened.
Help came flooding in.
People I had connected with, helped, or collaborated with in the past were eager to offer advice.
Not only that, they went out of their way to connect me with others who had the answers I needed. The project was a success because I leaned on others.
Since then, I’ve learned that asking for help isn’t a weakness. It’s how you move forward faster and better. It’s how you get through the tough parts of any journey.
And that’s exactly what I’m bringing to the Extra Mile Session.
I’ve invited a group of people who’ve personally helped me move my projects forward. These are experts I trust, people I turn to when I need advice. During the session, they’ll be there for you—your “friends on call.”
Veronika is a top expert in email marketing. When we started working together, just 5% of Life is Porno’s revenue came from email. A few months later, it was 25%. And now? Don’t even ask…
Alena is an e-commerce powerhouse. She’s helped countless small and medium-sized businesses sell online. She manages our e-commerce platforms, and if you sell online—or aren’t and should—she can point you in the right direction.
Michal is my trainer and a well-being expert. I’ve struggled with back pain for years. Doctors told me it wouldn’t go away, but with the right exercise, it could get better. I thought I was exercising enough, but I wasn’t doing it right. After working with Michal, I went from barely moving to doing 25 pull-ups and deadlifting 111 kg. He’ll be sharing well-being practices you can take home.
These experts aren’t just there to teach. They’re there to guide you, to offer real advice and support as you tackle your project head-on.
So, here’s my favor to ask: if you’ve been on the fence about joining, now is the time to take that step. Or jump. Whatever works.
Just don’t sit there watching from the sidelines. Lean into this opportunity.
Surround yourself with people who will push you, challenge you, and help you make real progress.
Let’s move your project forward together.
I’ve got the last spots left, and I’d love to see you on that Extra Mile.
