A brief personal account by Lori Harder describing feelings of isolation and financial loss during difficult times as an entrepreneur, and emphasizing the importance of finding support, reaching out, and learning from setbacks. The message reassures listeners that recovery and growth are possible if one seeks connection and avoids fear-driven decisions.
I felt so alone, so isolated, and, like, I let everybody down. I had lost money, and it was, like, devastating. As long as you have, hopefully, one person that you can chat with or talk to, and if not, you'll go and find that person, you'll create it, you'll reach out, and maybe that's the reason you finally end up reaching out and make an entrepreneurial friend who can support you. Like, you're gonna get through it. It is not the end of the world. You will come back from everything. You will learn from everything. Don't sit in so much resistance over the fear that you never get started or that you stuck or that you start making decisions from fear, because that's when your company starts to go downhill.
