Real Talk: The Ups and Downs of Running a Business

Let’s start a real conversation — no filters, no fluff.

What’s it really been like running your business?

I’m talking about the mistakes that taught you lessons, the wins that made it all feel worth it, the burnout you didn’t expect, and the goals that keep you going even on the tough days.

Whether you’re just starting or deep in the game, your story can inspire someone else (and maybe theirs will help you too).

Drop your honest take below 👇

Let’s build something real — together.

  • Being tired and mini burnout is real.  I overbooked one week myself with networking events and by the weekend I did not want to see or talk to anyone. I would have never expected this. 

    Show up - doesn't matter how but show up and be real about it.  Watch your words and reactions and count to 10 if you feel your blood rising.  It will give you a minute to pause.  I bit my supervisors head off the other day (just a bit, in my style which is not yelling or anything) and I had to apologize.  Learn to apologize.  

    Right now these are the big ones for me.
