I never imagined that my journey into the business world would completely change the way I think and move now. As I reflected on my 54th birthday last month, I realized that my career goals have been totally redefined to include not only myself and my family, but also to make an impact on the world around me in whatever way I can. I can look back and remember the unfortunate circumstances that led me to seek a legitimate hustle to provide for my family and how challenging it was to try and build a profitable business from scratch. It felt like swimming across a vast lake in total darkness – cold, lonely, and unpredictable. But those failures have purpose now; every mistake I make which helps others avoid similar pitfalls becomes a success story.
The power of reflection has played an invaluable role in my journey – it helps me recognize what worked, what didn’t work, what could be improved upon, and how things can be done differently next time around. That's why I created “F.A.I.L” as an acronym for “For All I've Learned”. Every failure is an opportunity for growth – there are lessons to be learned in every experience!
My approach to business is based on empathy – understanding where people are coming from before offering solutions or suggestions helps create trust and leads to better conversations between myself and potential customers or partners. Working with other small businesses provides unique access to resources that may otherwise be unavailable due to lack of capital or manpower – something that is especially useful when starting out with limited resources or knowledge about certain industries or markets. Collaboration is key!
Having mentors who have walked this path already has been invaluable – their advice has helped shape my strategies for success in ways that I never thought possible before embarking on this journey. Without their guidance, it wouldn't have been nearly as easy for me to stay focused on reaching my goals despite the obstacles that come up along the way (and there are plenty). Surrounding myself with successful people who can provide insight into different aspects of business has made all the difference when trying to navigate this unfamiliar territory!
Building a successful business requires hard work, dedication, focus, resilience – but most importantly, recognizing failure as part of learning process instead of something negative or shameful allows us all grow in ways we couldn't even imagine beforehand! By embracing “F.A.I.L” as an acronym for “For All I’ve Learned” each day brings new opportunities for growth and development if we just stay open-minded enough take advantage of them! Empathy towards our customers drive our decisions which leads us closer towards success while collaboration with other small businesses allows us access resources we wouldn’t normally have access too And finally having mentors guide us through any challenges gives us perspective allowing us navigate through these unfamiliar territories successfully! Realizing all these things has changed not only the way I think about failure but also about success itself – ultimately leading me towards accomplishing any goal set before me no matter how daunting it may seem at first glance!

I can personally share in your sentiments. Having a lifechanging experience 4 1/2 years ago left me fighting for my life then having to change direction because of the injuries completely.
