It's hard seeing other entrepreneurs who've been in business for years and they make it seem so easy. The day-to-day grind of being an entrepreneur is not easy. It's messy. It's hard. It's scrappy. We don't always see that side of a business we follow on Instagram or the videos we watch on IG Reels and TikTok, because sharing the difficult parts isn't as fun. I think it's necessary, though. In a world where it's easy to post only the highlights, these Friday business episodes share the behind-the-scenes grind of entrepreneurship. The good. The bad. The failures, as well as the accomplishments. Today I talk about dealing with a recent promotion that failed, and how I'm moving on from it. I hope as a fellow entrepreneur, you find value in...

Today, I share those lessons that had the most impact on my business.
