When you’re in the thick of it — chasing leads, sending proposals, and facing rejection after rejection — it can feel like every door is locked.
But it’s worth pausing to reflect on how those past and present challenges have shaped you into a better founder and a better person.
If you don’t stop to recognize the importance of the hard stuff in your journey, you risk missing the very lessons that can make the next stage easier — and far more meaningful.
I’ll share three moments I’m now deeply grateful for — each one tough at the time, but ultimately the reason I became a stronger entrepreneur:
💡 The rejections that redirected me 💡 The clients who challenged me 💡 The mistakes that forced me to grow
If you’ve been grinding all year and wondering whether it’s paying off — this session is for you.
