Running your own business is the hardest job you’ll ever have, and may be the hardest thing you ever do. It can be isolating because very few people can really understand the depth of stress and mental load you carry all the time.

Lies We Bought Podcast :
One thing I keep is a motivational folder filled with text messages, wins I’m proud of, and moments where people have been proud of me. When I hit a slump, I go back through it on my phone or Google Drive and it reminds me what I’m capable of. I also really love your videos and appreciate how honest you are about how hard it can be to run a business, especially in social media and marketing where it never really turns off.

I’m on a low. It’s getting worse with age; as a business owner of 9 years, honestly it’s not getting any easier , in fact I think my first 2-4 years in business were the best

Thank you for sharing this, there are so many people glamorising quitting their jobs and all the sudden they’re living this ‘Pilates Porsche’ lifestyle. Starting my own thing has been so much more of a mental challenge than I ever could have predicted.

I think it’s because everything we have is invested and not just money… it’s your soul so every high and low hits so hard. ❤️

Can relate to this soooooooooooo much, scaling and growth is now our biggest obstacle while being a 2 man band and we have no idea where to start 😂

The lows are so low. CEO is the worst job in the world and the most rewarding 🫠 nothing glamorous about it

It's highs and lows as a business owner. I'd say imposter syndrome is one of the struggles I have most often. Thank you for being honest 🙏

I have so much respect for you! I, too, own my own business and I talk a lot about the highs and lows of being a creative and navigating the highs and lows of being all in and the next day.. ready to quit. But it’s all about perseverance. Tenacity. Filling a niche even if no one else is filling it. Creating a business is like building a community right.. ? but before we build the community we have to build the first foundation. I focused most on building the basement before bringing it public!! Expect slow start and work harder than you ever thought possible. You have this! Let’s help others navigate the emotional journey 🦋✨
