2024 has been the worst year of my life. There have been so many lessons both personally and professionally, with so many issues cropping up that I had to tackle and address. I want to share pretty candidly what challenges I faced this year and the growth I experienced because of it. We’re getting into the importance of reaching out to your mentors, doing a profit/loss statement for my many businesses, and the two pieces of advice that leaned on the most: 'trim the fat' and re-evaluating the 'hire slow, fire fast' principle. Despite this insanely tough year, I’m committed to moving forward because I love this work and I think we are heading into 2025 the clearest and strongest that we have ever been. We’re laser focused on the Doer's Library and nationwide in-person events and as a stronger team. Join me as I offer the insight and practical advice I wish I had for navigating business hurdles and embracing personal and professional growth.
