Iโve lost money on things that didnโt work.
That sucked.
But looking back, the money wasnโt always the biggest loss.
๐ขI lost time Iโll never get back.
๐ขI lost energy I needed for my family, my work, my clients and myself.
๐ขAnd sometimes I lost confidence.
Because after enough programs donโt deliver, you start wondering whether maybe youโre the problem.
๐คMaybe you didnโt implement it right.
๐คMaybe you didnโt try hard enough.
๐คMaybe everybody else understands something you donโt.
That kind of frustration wears on you.
But I also gained something from it.

โ I donโt want to sell big promises and hand somebody a pile of homework.
โ I donโt want people paying for tools they canโt use.
โ I donโt want another small business owner feeling defeated because a โsimple solutionโ turned out to be anything but simple.
Those lessons are part of what Iโm pouring into Guiding Lights United.
The wasted money wasnโt meaningless if I can use what I learned to build something better.
And thatโs exactly what I intend to do.
