10: Reflection

I Made a Thing

What we learnt in 2019

Do you set aside time to reflect on the year passed?

Do you believe in the seasons of business?

Is it ever OK to quit?

And when should you listen to your ego?

“I stopped focusing on what I looked like, my sales, my following. Instead, I showed up and stayed true to what I had planned. And that's how I removed all the ego and stress around my launch.”

- Rachel Kurzyp
