What if the thing that feels like a failure right now is actually part of what’s building your future?
Today I’m sharing 10 things I tried in my business that totally flopped. Some were embarrassing. Some were expensive. Some were dreams I was sure would work. And honestly, in the moment, a few of them made me wonder if I was cut out for entrepreneurship at all.
But looking back, I can see something I couldn’t see then: so many of my wins were born out of what didn’t work first.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through each flop, what it taught me, and how it quietly shaped what came next. And at the end I’m giving you a simple exercise I really want you to try — an “impact web” of your failures — to help you trace the dots between what hurt and what it’s producing.
If you’ve been sitting in disappointment, second-guessing yourself, or wondering if you’re falling behind… this is your reminder:
You can fail and still be on your way.
