Chilled Dark Chocolate Pie with Toasted Almond Crust and Strawberry Vanilla Compote Oh She Glows. Lately, Ive been reflecting on lessons that Ive learned since changing my career path and branching out on my own 4 and 12 years ago. Trying to pursue a new field in which I had no prior experience and grow a business feels like a rollercoaster most of the time. There are many ups and downs Disappointments. Set backs. Progress. Self Doubt. Excitement. Stress. Gratitude. Growth. Burn out. Deal Breakers. Its been such a crazy ride, but I wouldnt change it for the world. Well, there is one thing I would do differently I wouldve hired an accountant much sooner than I did. They are worth their weight in gold. Other than that, Im a firm believer that the mistakes and tough times are incredibly valuable. Ive learned to believe in myself which was never something that came to me naturally. Ive turned down opportunities and walked away from deals because they didnt have my best interests at heart. While scary at the time, those are some of my proudest moments because I was true to myself and what I believe in. Whatever path you happen to be on, believe in yourself. Stick to your guns if its important to youWhen you have a bad feeling about something, listen to your gut. And most importantly, dont let someone else convince you that youre nothing without them. It just isnt true. You might just be one person, but you are everything to your vision. Maybe your journey wont look exactly as you thought it would, but sometimes thats for the better anyway. If you have the passion and drive for something go after it and share it proudly with the world.
