Hi First name / friend!
As an entrepreneur, some days you need to be your own cheerleader.
Whenever I'm feeling lost or uncertain in my business I reflect on this piece of advice a former therapist gave me 3 years ago:
My husband and I was were in jobs we absolutely loved with amazing people, but the boss we both worked for created a culture and work environment full of chaos, insecurity, and confusion (hence why Neil and I were going to therapy each week to cope).
One evening as we were in her office unloading from the wild work week she paused, stopped writing, pulled down her glasses (as therapists do when they have a serious truth bomb loaded in the chamber) and said,
"You know, you are just as capable of running a business as your boss. There's nothing special about him except that he got a boost of funding in the beginning to get him started."
HOLY COW that was the biggest EUREKA moment I've ever had!
