Episode 285. What I learned from my first (vegan cookie) company (revisited)
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who needs the reminder to look back, take stock of how far you’ve come, and celebrate your wins.
As part of our summer rebroadcast series, I’m revisiting the story of my very first company—a vegan cookie business I started over a decade ago. (Cookies, sounds fun! But it was hard.) I shared this story more when I first started Accelity, and going back to it now was a cool walk down memory lane.
We’re so often focused on the next goal or milestone that we forget to pause and appreciate the progress we’ve made. The version of you from 10, 5, or even 2 years ago would be so proud of where you are today.
Spoiler: this isn’t going to be some amazing unicorn success story, but I learned a ton from that first venture. Tune in for three important lessons on entrepreneurship.
