Rich Litvin, author and founder of The High-Achieving Introvert Project and The Confident Woman’s Salon, explains how due to our societal conditioning we often view needing help as a weakness. Rich explains how this phenomenon is particularly prevent among those that are considered ‘successful,’ and how he turned this misconception around in an elite support circle of high-achieving businessmen, entrepreneurs, athletes and celebrities.
