Alright, let’s get real. I could sit here and tell you all the things that went right during the first official week of The Elevated Edit Co.—but the truth? This week was a masterclass in what NOT to do. And honestly, I wouldn't change a thing.

Because here’s what most people won’t tell you—success is NOT about having the perfect launch. It’s about how you handle the chaos, the setbacks, and the unexpected curveballs that make you want to quit. So today, I’m breaking down everything that went wrong in Week 1—from ad account disasters to major content struggles to completely botching my sales calls—and, more importantly, how I pushed through it all.

Inside this episode, we’re diving into:

• How my entire ad strategy blew up in my face (and what I wish I had done differently)
• The moment I realized my sales training went completely out the window in real-world conversations
• Why I struggled hard with content creation (even though this is normally my zone of genius)
• How taking an unexpected full day off threw off my momentum—but also taught me a powerful lesson about systems
• The mindset shift that kept me from spiraling when things did not go according to plan

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt like you’re failing when things don’t go perfectly. Spoiler: you’re not. This is what building something real actually looks like.
