A Hard Lesson Every Business Owner Should Learn One of the most difficult realities of leadership is having to let go of people you genuinely care about. Over the years, I’ve faced this challenge more times than I’d like to admit-and it never gets easier. As a business owner, mentor, and someone who naturally leans

“Confessions” felt like a bold title when I started writing this, maybe too bold. What was I really confessing? That I didn’t have it all figured out? That I wasn’t born knowing how to run a business? Here’s the truth:I had no idea what I was doing when I started.
