Failing at a business venture is tough. It can feel like a punch to the gut, leaving you questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself.
But here’s the thing: it’s not the end of the world, and it doesn’t define your worth.
When your business dreams crumble, it’s okay to grieve. Feel those feelings, but don’t let them consume you. Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and Dr. Sam Von Reiche discuss remind you that entrepreneurship is just one part of your life, not the whole story.
Start with the basics: eat well, sleep enough, and move your body.
These small steps can make a huge difference in how you feel mentally and emotionally.
If things feel too heavy, reach out to a therapist or business coach – there’s no shame in asking for help.
Use this time to reflect on your values and passions outside of work. What makes you tick? What lights you up? Rediscover those parts of yourself that might have been neglected during your entrepreneurial journey.
We’re all complex humans with diverse interests and talents. Your business might have failed, but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s just a chapter in your life, not the whole book.
