Ep.12 5 Business Mistakes I Made (so you don't have to)

I built a company from scratch, raised VC funding, scaled a team, and exited, but I nearly lost myself in the process. If you're a founder who's ever felt burnt out, stretched too thin, or like you're not "enough"... this one's for you.

In this raw, honest episode, I'm sharing the 5 biggest mistakes I made building my company from 2010-2017. These lessons cost me time, money, relationships, and almost my health. But they taught me what it really takes to build sustainable success.

THE 5 MISTAKES:

1️⃣ Sacrificing my life for the business (I took 4 days off in 2017—and paid the price)

2️⃣ Saying yes to everything (and becoming mediocre at everything)

3️⃣ Avoiding the financials because I told myself I was "bad with numbers"

4️⃣ Losing myself in the founder role (and forgetting who I was)

5️⃣ Comparing my journey to everyone else's highlight reel
