This is my monthly Founder Journal. A personal record documenting the decisions, lessons, and adjustments as I build toward a $1M business by the end of 2027.

In this episode, I’m capturing five lessons from June 2026, recorded in real time while building a mid–six-figure service business.

Lessons from June 2026:

1. The Trait That Built This Business Is Now Its Ceiling
2. The Cost of Taking Our Eye Off the Team
3. We Picked a Number and Called It a Strategy
4. Why Stories Beat Bullet Points
5. A Little Prep Turned a Stranger Into a Sale
