🔥 The Story:

Everything was ready.

Newsletter launch? Locked. Domain? Set. All systems go.

Then the domain broke. IT support was useless. Also, a screaming toddler in one arm.

With time running out, the founder scrapped the plan and pushed a backup live. Not polished. Just done.

Then came the curveball. A challenging client decided to part ways. No notice. Just gone.

Projects piled up. Energy tanked. Nothing left in the tank.

But the founder didn’t quit. Hit send. Sent the invoice. Answered emails late into the night.

Because sometimes, doing everything right still isn’t enough. But showing up anyway is what matters.

The Lesson

Resilience isn’t always glamorous.

Sometimes it’s just getting through the day and that’s enough.

From Behind the Books

Everyone shares the wins. But the rough days are where growth actually happens.

This Week’s Prompt

What’s one brutal day you made it through?

Write it down. You’re still here and that counts.

See you next Friday,
