5 Times I Failed and What I Learned
from This Yuppie Life
Last Saturday, I attended my final goal-group meeting of the year. This is the meeting where we are asked to stand up in front of the group and state what our biggest challenges and our biggest achievements were this year: Insert panic here! When I looked back at the goals I’d set last January, I couldn’t check many off the list. I wondered if perhaps I’d set the wrong goals—or maybe I hadn’t tried hard enough? Or could it be that I just simply suck? Have you ever had a year like that?
If I had to sum up 2017 in one word, it would be challenging. My husband left his very good job at a prominent company last August to launch his indie virtual-reality game; what set out to be a six-month project has turned into fourteen months of the unknown—and I’m sorry to admit that I don’t handle the unknown very well. Funny that I chose to be an entrepreneur!
