Balloons
Happy New Year! Today marks the start of my 5th full year as an entrepreneur.

I remember the day that I quit my job at the end of 2010 like it was yesterday. It’s been an interesting five years full of highs, lows, really tough moments and major triumphs.

I’m so grateful to have made it to this important milestone and wanted to share some of my experience and reflections with you.
