“No team besides my wife and two very part time contractors to work through challenges with and get everything done that needs to get done.
Nobody cheering you on when you get a deal.
No CEO to tell you if you’re doing the right things (or wrong and what you should actually be doing).”
I left a big company with the resources/systems in my late 20s. I thought I was going to crush it in my own, but I was in for a rude awakening when I realized I wasn’t a top performer without all of that support.
But working through it led to growth and confidence. Well…it led to financial stress for my family and my first therapist :), but now that I’m on the other side I can appreciate the hardship and hard work to get through it.
