EPISODE 7

So many people like to talk about success stories but not so often do we talk about the “failures” that happen in everyday business. This episode of the ADHD Owned Podcast is a bit of storytelling where I shared a colossal mistake I made in my business and the hard lessons I learned from it. In your own ways, you've probably felt like you “dropped the ball” on certain things, and it's important for us to see them not as failures, and not proof that you should close up shop, but lessons that help you get through it. These lessons in business are even more important to talk about because these are the ones that we really learn from and that's what you're going to get from listening to this episode.
