When you make a mistake in your business, shame usually shows up right along with it. The kind that whispers you should have known better, moved faster, or figured it out sooner.
But in business, there are certain things you cannot know until you know them. That's not a reflection of your ability. That's just how learning works.
In this solo episode, I'm walking you through three categories of knowing — and making a real case for why the third one is where growth actually begins. Along the way, we get into what self-forgiveness actually is (it's not what most people think), the quiet cost of giving your attention away for free, and one specific challenge I want you to take on before this episode ends.
If you've been wondering why your business isn't moving the way you know it could — or beating yourself up for not knowing something sooner — this one's for you.
