Failure is a scary word. But what if we stopped thinking of failure as a bad word, and started thinking about it as a transition to what's next in your future?
In this episode of Rainy Day Diaries I share 4 (four) times I've "failed" in my business. With the last one being something really vulnerable I'm kind of scared to talk about. Eep!
Tune in to hear about said failures, and how to grow past things, even when they don't go your way. And make sure to check out the show notes, and see some pictures from the moments things didn't go as planned.-> jenipherlyn.com/blog/48!!
