For a long time, I didn’t realize I was running a business—I just knew I was wearing every hat imaginable. Teacher. CEO. Content creator. Brand manager. And nobody showed me how to navigate taxes, bias, or ownership. But here’s the truth: in 2026, “nobody showed me” can’t be our excuse anymore. With access to information, AI, and real tools, the responsibility has shifted. It’s hard. It hurts. But growth demands we lean in anyway.
