Welcome to Unlikely Choices! I'm Stacy, the former lawyer turned jewelry designer, and I am so glad you're here. If you want to start your own business in 2026 (or maybe you already have!), this episode about patience is a must-listen. Too many people go into entrepreneurship thinking they're going to make six figures within 90 days, and that's not reality for 99% of new business owners. It's so important to have patience during the phase when you're building, tweaking, and testing, or you might give up on your business idea before it's had a fair chance to succeed. It's also common to feel invisible during this time. But I promise you, you are not invisible - you are just early in the process of building.
