## Resource

One of the businesses that nearly broke me went on to make $1 million in a single month. In this episode, I’m talking about failure - and why learning how to deal with it has been one of the most important parts of my journey as an entrepreneur. I share my “fail forward” framework and four mindset shifts that completely changed the way I respond when things don’t go to plan. I also get into what happened with my gift box business, the period where everything felt like it was falling apart and why some of the hardest moments in business can end up teaching you the lessons you need to grow. Failure doesn’t automatically mean you chose the wrong path. Sometimes it’s the thing that shows you what to do next. Ready to start building?
