Summary

Let’s talk about business regrets. Meaning… the things that I maybe did at the start of my business that I now have more information around and can say proudly that while I wouldn’t necessarily change any decisions I made, I can lament that I didn’t always make the “right” ones early on.

If I can help anyone else in their first year or years of running a business avoid these things, then I want to be as open and honest as possible about them! Ya ready to live with no business regrets?

0:52.8	So the other day I was chatting with a few friends, one of whom recently put in his two weeks

1:02.8	am I crazy? I couldn't sleep last night thinking maybe everyone else is right and I'm a fool to walk

1:20.8	was but also how exhilarating it was to drop others expectations for me, my life, my career and
1:27.6	to go on this journey of carving my own path. This conversation made me think a ton about those early
1:34.6	days. Decisions I made, the fear I felt, the conviction I held for what I wanted. I mean we've all
