How Mistakes Build Better Entrepreneurs with Saifa Kajani
“You need to make mistakes in order to progress.”
Perfectionism is something many ADHD entrepreneurs struggle with.
We want the idea to be perfect.
The launch to be perfect.
The business to be perfect.
But the truth?
Progress comes from messy action and learning along the way.
In this oler episode of Corporate to Calm, I speak with Saifa Kajani, founder of The Drunken Cookie and honestly, she is an absolute powerhouse.
In her mid-20s, Saifa built a thriving cookie brand during the pandemic, combining creativity, resilience and pure entrepreneurial drive.
But her journey wasn’t simple.
Saifa opens up about
• navigating heartbreak and mental health
• building a business during uncertainty
• learning through mistakes rather than fearing them
• turning creativity into a unique product experience
• balancing her passions as a chef, entrepreneur and PT
Her cookies are bold, decadent and unapologetically over the top with flavours like
🍪 You Tart – vanilla & white chocolate topped with strawberry Pop-Tart
🍪 Kinder K-Hole – white chocolate with hazelnut crème and Kinder Bueno
But what makes Saifa stand out isn’t just the product.
It’s her mindset.
She isn’t afraid to experiment, evolve and keep pushing forward a lesson many ADHD entrepreneurs need to hear.
Because growth doesn’t come from avoiding mistakes.
It comes from taking action, learning quickly and trying again.
Saifa’s ambition?
To build the Krispy Kreme of cookies.
And honestly… after hearing her story, I wouldn’t bet against her.
If you’re an entrepreneur navigating setbacks, creativity or self-doubt, this episode is full of powerful reminders that progress comes from persistence.
Enjoy Saifa’s journey from Corporate to Calm.
