Notes I wrote to myself in 2017

I know you are all HUMMING it. I’m sorry for that.  I made a shit ton of mistakes when I started my business at the top of 2017. Yes, going through the mistakes is part of the entrepreneurial process. But not pivoting soon enough in another direction is the reason most people like us don’t […]
