Here's what it looks like to get back on your horse when you fall off

Hello Reader, It's been a while since I last emailed you. Because I fell off my horse - not literally of course, I don't own any horses... What I mean is, things happening in life, and in particular, growing a business, like:
All of these 👆 on top of working full-time and spending time with my kids and family. It's a lot. (iykyk - learned this acronym recently from my daughter...trying to get up to speed with internet language...) But here's the lesson: Consistency means getting back up on your horse when you fall off it (and you will fall, I guarantee it). Even if getting back up makes you feel clumsy, messy, and yes, like you FAILED. Which just doesn't exist in my dictionary anymore. Failure only happens when you QUIT.

Even though the company I work at has announced 'restructuring' after the acquisition, up to this point, this was only happening at the global and regional level, and the top folks in our country. Last week, the first trickle has landed in country. As someone in HR, conducting these conversations is the part of my job I hate most. Watching people cry. Seeing the shock, anger, and helplessness wash over their faces. Knowing that in an instant, their...
Reader, I have a confession. A decade ago, I got into a 6-figure business debt. I used to believe having more money solves all problems. Whenever there was something I didn't know how to or didn't want to deal with, I'd throw more money on it. When I would realized what I had done, I'd panic and stress. Hitting the 6-figure mark in debt was my wake-up call. The problem wasn't that I needed to become a financial expert. The problem was that I was stuck in survival mode, making decisions from...
