Success is not final and failure doesn't have to be. It is the courage to continue that counts

Reflection

Despite what we tell ourselves, neither your greatest wins nor your hardest losses will define your legacy, so don't let them tell you who you are. That's God's job. One of the biggest traps that entrepreneurs fall into is tying our identity to our business outcomes. Win a big deal and we start to think we've figured it all out. Lose one and suddenly we're questioning whether we're cut out for this. I've felt both sides of that swing, sometimes in the same day! We're all a work in progress, but I'd like to stay humble enough to learn, courageous enough to keep taking swings, and committed enough to keep going when stuff gets hard.

Looking forward,
