Self-Improvement
When things get tough. What do you do?

So, there I am, right?
Big problem on my plate, and the usual chit-chat in the office or those brainstorming sessions just aren’t cutting it.
What do I do? I make my way to this little oasis outside the office.
Yeah, that small garden where the only thing better than the morning sun is the cool shade from the building. It’s like my little escape pod.
Sitting there, feeling the breeze on my face, it’s like my mind starts to unclutter.
I dive deep into my thoughts, kinda like having a conversation with myself.
“What went wrong? What could I have done differently?”
It’s my time to hit the pause button, you know?
Reflect on this crazy ride of entrepreneurship, why I even started this journey, and remind myself of all the sacrifices that come with the title.

It’s funny, thinking about it. Nobody really gets what goes through a founder’s head.
The worries, the hopes, the endless “what ifs” that dance around at night.
And despite it all, there’s this sense of gratitude for my team.
They’re out there giving their all, blissfully unaware of the storms I weather.
And that’s how it should be.
Why drag them into this whirlwind of stress?
Their focus should be on the work, while I, as their leader, figure out how to navigate through the chaos.
Sometimes, putting pen to paper (or fingers to keys) feels like therapy.
It helps me process my thoughts, clear the fog.
Those articles I’ve been sending out?
They’re more than just words.
They’re a piece of me, hoping to light up a spark in someone else, maybe even drum up some business along the way.
And if my inbox bombardments have been too much for some, hey, the unsubscribe button is there for a reason.
But for those who stick around, your support means the world.
It’s this whole cycle of thoughts, reflections, and realizations that keep me going.
The garden isn’t just a place to escape; it’s where I find my ground, ready to face another day.
