Well, this is (really) it.
After today, Stevie Says Social as a brand is officially no more.
It's been five years, a million cheers... and if I'm honest, a few tears.
Anyone that has started a little business from a seed of an idea in their mind and a knowing feeling that they were made for more will resonate with me when I say that it's a mighty effort.
At the beginning, it's exciting and exhilarating.
You grow.
You learn.
You change.
In many ways, it's the biggest lesson in personal development that you will EVER undertake.
It becomes a piece of you.
A part of you.
(And sometimes, it engulfs you.)
Each year, on your business birthday, you look back and you reflect -
On how far you've come,
On where you're going,
And on whether your path is still aligned with the one you set out and forged for yourself all those years ago.
Sometimes, the answer is yes.
And sometimes, like me, it's not.
And so, on the eve of Stevie Says Social's fifth business birthday, it's time to finally sunset this little brand that has truly given me so much.
Tomorrow, we evolve.
But on today's podcast episode -
It's a time to reflect on the past five years.
To celebrate how far we've come.
To THANK this little brand.
And to say goodbye, to make room for the next iteration of this business that has truly become 'bigger than me'.
In this 'reflection' podcast episode, we talk about:
✔️ The beginning of the Stevie Says Social brand, and how it came to be;
✔️ Honest reflections on the evolution of the business over the past five years;
✔️ What Stevie Says Social has given ME personally, and the ripple effects of impact it has had; and
✔️ What's coming next (and an emotional farewell!)
