I just heard an entrepreneur say this during an interview.

I believe that as a business owner this quote is SO TRUE.

She had that thought as she was starting her business but now that business owner is the owner of Shit That I Knit. That company is behind every hat, every pair of mittens, and everything that’s handmade for the USA Olympic team…she has a multi-million dollar business who employs artisans who handcraft their products.

Here’s how I can relate. I started my business nearly two years ago and I have many days where I don’t feel like a success.

I feel like a failure but I don’t want my business to be.

I also don’t want to regret starting this thing but not seeing it through to what it could be, so I plug away.

Just a year ago I posted about “I don’t think I can do this.” A year later, I’m still plugging away. It’s NOT easy. There’s no manual for what I’m doing.

I’m still here, dedicating countless hours to running my biz.

Being a business owner isn’t easy. If you are someone who owns their own business or you know someone who is, please know you aren’t alone.

We are all in this together.

Oh yeah, and for those who have subscribed to my email blast, thank you so much, I appreciate it. It’s finally hitting inboxes this morning. The link to subscribe is in the comments. I understand how valuable your inbox is and I sincerely appreciate that you’ve voluntarily chosen to get emails every other week from me.

Thank you also to all the people (nearly 5,000!) who have subscribed to my monthly LinkedIn newsletter. I’m going to put that link in the comments too.

The fear of failure is bigger than the fear of regret. Keep plugging.
