This submission took us on a journey back in time…a time when we closed something of our own down. 

“I'm not sure. I want to continue my business. And I know you guys have talked about this, but please talk me through it.”

Our conversation explores our personal experience of business closure, emphasizing that shutting down a business is often a new beginning rather than an end…and yes, it’s hard to see that in the middle of it. We discuss the emotional challenges entrepreneurs face, such as shame and guilt, and encourage a mindset shift to view closure as a stepping stone for future opportunities.

Key Takeaways: 

  • As hard as it is in the moment, there will be goodness on the other side
  • Understanding the emotional impact of closure
  • You will absolutely piss some people off when you close and that’s on them
