A really raw feeling of “failure” going into our team retreat last week...
I’ve been in business for 4 years.
I haven’t raised a ton of money.
And TBH we haven’t grown at lightning speed.
And I caught myself thinking…
Is this why we’re not bigger??
Should we have 20 people by now?
Am I doing this wrong??
Then after our team breathwork during the retreat, our instructor looked at me and said,
“I’m so inspired by you. The way you lead. The way you’ve built this with your team.”
And my jaw basically dropped...
Because she was seeing something in me…
That I wasn’t seeing in myself.
It’s so easy to look at companies who have raised a ton of money or companies that have been around much longer than us and forget the context.
We are a multi million dollar company.
Built mostly organically.
With a lean team.
We can do it. You can too.
