8. Allies & Resources
Your team + believers
You weren’t meant to build this alone. Every great idea needs support — and that support often starts showing up as soon as you ask for it.
Now that your idea has taken shape, it’s time to connect with the people, tools, and energy that can help it grow. That might mean collaborators, mentors, testers, tech, funding, or simply emotional backup.
This stage is about reaching out. Making the ask. Saying, “Here’s what I’m building — do you want to be part of it?”
It’s also about getting practical. Do you need a designer? A platform? A small budget? A co-working buddy? Help with childcare so you can focus? Name it. Own it.
There’s strength in being resourceful. And even more strength in being brave enough to say, “I can’t do this alone.”
Your idea may be yours — but it was never meant to be solo.
