Episode 12: Why I nearly quit - and why I'm back
Description
Life of a Social Entrepreneur is back. After 11 episodes, I hit pause, and in this return episode, I share why.
Running a social enterprise isn’t a straight path. My business was struggling. I was juggling two young children, dealing with negativity in the gym, losing long-term members, and fighting self-doubt. At one point, I even applied for a job, convinced I’d failed as a social entrepreneur.
But the break gave me clarity. I learned to manage money better (thanks to my chair and Profit First by Mike Michalowicz).
I had turning-point conversations with sponsors about valuing our work and pricing it properly. And I realised that not every opportunity is the right one. Even if it looks huge on paper.
This episode is raw, honest, and all about resilience. It’s about what happens when you nearly walk away, and how stepping back can sometimes be the thing that moves you forward.
If you’ve ever doubted yourself, this one’s for you.
