Episode 59 - You're Too Early to Fail | Business Therapy™

In today's episode, I'm talking about something I think every business owner experiences at some point: the quiet season.

Those moments when enquiries slow down, engagement drops, and it's easy to wonder whether any of your work is making a difference.

I begin with a quote from Eddie Murphy before the Academy Awards that has stayed with me for years: "It is always wonderful to win, but if I don't win, I am still Eddie in the morning."

The more I reflected on those words, the more they stayed with me. They made me wonder how often I allow business results to shape the way I see myself. Maybe you've noticed that in your own journey too.

I also share a personal story about a social media post that hardly anyone engaged with. At the time, I wondered if it had missed the mark. Months later, a realtor reached out to tell me she'd never forgotten that post. That one conversation turned into years of working together and referrals that I never could have predicted.

It reminded me that some of the most meaningful moments in business happen long before we realise they're unfolding.

This episode covers:

✅ Why a quiet season may not mean you're moving in the wrong direction

✅ What Eddie Murphy's story reminded me about identity

✅ Why low engagement rarely tells the whole story

✅ The difference between public metrics and real impact

✅ What I've noticed happens when we tie our worth to numbers
