There's a trend on social media right now that's giving me the ick. Women business owners posting about reaching the top of the mountain, collecting praise, and then wondering who they really are now that they've made it. That has not been my experience. Not even close.
In this episode I talk about what building a business actually feels like: the imposter syndrome when you post your first job listing, the moment you realize someone is depending on you for their paycheck, the exhaustion that doesn't quit even when things are going well, and what success actually looks like when you're living inside it.
What we cover:
Why most first businesses start from the heart, not the highlight reel
The emotional reality of hiring your first employee
Vision, values, and why you need both before you bring someone into leadership
Setting clear expectations across every role on your team
What it looks like to build rest into a business before you burn out
