I've made a LOT of mistakes (and survived!) Discover how by grabbing a free chapter of my bestselling book: https://www.greateststorycreative.com/read

I used to think that being successful and having confidence in business meant getting everything right. But after 11 years as an entrepreneur, I’ve learned something far more freeing: you can make BIG, messy, even wildly embarrassing mistakes—and still thrive.

In this episode, I’m opening up about some of the hardest moments behind the scenes of my six-figure business. From visibility blunders to failed launches and too-many-niches syndrome, I’m sharing the real missteps that helped me grow, not in spite of them—but because of them.

If you’ve been quietly beating yourself up for not having it all figured out, I hope this feels like a permission slip.
