When life "lives" and throws curveballs, it's easy to spiral. We beat ourselves up, lose faith, and fall into despair. (Guilty as charged!)

Have you ever felt pressured to continue something just because you started it? You're not alone. But what if you didn't have to?

Imagine feeling stuck, unsure of the next step. Your mind races with wants: a new business, a different job, a dream vacation, a skill to master. But how do you bridge the gap between wishing and doing?

Reflecting on my last decade of self-employment, I see myself caught up in the thrall of "hustle culture."

I learned that as we rediscover ourselves – following setbacks, we must eliminate anything that contradicts our truth, respectfully.

There was a time when I believed attending events was the best way to build fruitful relationships. I was wrong. Empty networking bears no fruits.

I once was a lone wolf, stockpiling ideas and guarding projects like secrets. It felt safer that way. But when I welcomed interns to my then-fashion blog, Miss SLY!. We began to grow together.

Entrepreneurship taught me a key lesson: success thrives on strategic "no." Early on, I said yes to every request and event. I later recognized real growth came from prioritizing focused "yeses."
