Since I started this entrepreneurship and self employment journey over 13 years ago now, lots of people have told me that they admire me for taking the big step, setting up my own shop and keeping it going for so long, and through a pandemic, and so on.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate hearing that.
I love hearing that. My ego feels very stroked every time someone repeats a variation of that.
But.
I have to set the record straight and be honest about my journey.
