In this episode of The Aisle, I’m getting real about something no one talks about enough in entrepreneurship… how hard it is not to take business personally.
As a luxury wedding planner and business owner, I’ve spent years building BTS Event Management and pouring everything into my team, my clients, and my vision. Nothing about this journey is easy and when you care deeply about what you’re building, it is nothing but personal.
In this episode, I share the emotional side of running a business, the reality of team turnover, pivots I’ve made in my business structure, and why I’m shifting my focus from growth to peace and consistency.
This isn’t a how to episode. It’s an honest look at what it really takes to build something meaningful and the challenges that come with it.
If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur trying to figure it out as you go, you’re not alone.
