Probably my lack of market research on the outset. If I had understood that I couldn't be competitive on larger jobs when I had to pay a franchise fee, I wouldn't have gone that route. I got heavily disheartened when I poured everything that I had into it for a year and had nothing to show for it. That's when my performance really slipped.

Yeah entrepreneurship is like staring into the abyss and eating glass.

People shouldn’t glamorize it. It’s brutally hard.

How do you feel now that you’re back in a salaried position?

It's like using the USD. An assurance that you'll get paid each week, and that each week that amount buys you less. I'm viewing it as a bridge to get my mental and physical health back before my next adventure.
