If we would have done that months back, I think it would have been a mistake.

I do think a lot of industries are oversaturated. The size of your team does not equate to success. And I will die on this hill. We did not do this in the beginning, which is what merely caused us to shut down. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to just grow with it. I've always been a little impulsive. I get an idea and just go with it. But that's the thing about life in business. You're always growing, learning, and figuring it out as you go. Welcome to Just Grow With It, the podcast where I share lessons I've learned as a founder and creator, the mistakes, the pivots, and the wins, and how staying consistent can change everything. So if you're ready to grow with me, let's get into it.

I told you that there wasn't going to be an episode this week, but I lied.

I wanted to wrap this year up nicely with a little bow, and I wanted to film a video at this time of year

when everyone is kind of thinking about what's to come the following year, prepping for the next year,

reflecting back on this previous year, andpping for the next year, reflecting back on

this previous year. And I wanted to film a video all about the lessons that I've learned in

2025. And I definitely think that this year I have learned a ton of lessons. I've grown a lot.

It has been one of the most monumental years of my life. And it's really symbolic that it is

the end of my 20s because I turned 29 this year,

next year I turn 30, and it's just really symbolic that my 29th year has been such a monumental

year and I like the cliches. So that feels right to me. I feel like I've grown the most at 29.

I've grown the most professionally and personally. My career has taken off in a way that I really didn't expect, something that I would always hoped for, but I really didn't expect. And if I looked back at my life 10 years ago, I would be so proud of myself today. And I wanted to say before I start this video, if you have enjoyed any of my business content, if you've enjoyed entrepreneurship content,

if you like this type of video and you want to see more behind the scenes of building a company,

Please subscribe and please share this with your friends, whether it's on your Instagram story

sending it through a text. Like if you know anyone that this would be helpful for, that means so

much to me. That's the biggest way that I receive feedback. So I just wanted to say that before

we jump into the meat of this episode. But without further ado, let's get into my 2025 lessons

that I have learned this year running a business.
