I sat at my desk looking at my computer in disbelief. Did I really make that mistake? I could feel the panic crawling its way up my stomach. I knew the tears weren’t far behind. I looked at the email and retraced the steps I had taken earlier that week.

Yep. I definitely messed up.

To all my fellow risk-adverse, never thought you’d own a business but now you do people… you’re not alone. There are many of us who found ourselves thrust in a new world of entrepreneurship after or during covid. We were happy with our jobs. Liked working for an established organization. And had ZERO intention of building our own businesses.

But here we are. Over two years later, and somewhere in that timeframe, we gained a new title: business owner.
