Your fear of failing is costing you more than you know. I’ve failed so many times in my entrepreneurial journey. But I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. Because at the end of the day, I learned from it. And that’s why you shouldn’t be afraid of failing in pursuing that goal. At the end of the day we either win or we learn, and I’ve had my fair share of learning! #realdadsinvest #personalgrowth

From almost bankrupt to profitable… Mid-Day Squares is finally in the BLACK. Today is a special day for us. After working hard for 5.5 years, we've reached two big goals: - We had our highest sales month ever, - We finally started making a profit. It has been a painful 5.5 years, to say the least. Lots of uncertainty: We had many moments where we almost gave up, Facing tough times and nearly going bankrupt. But our team stayed strong under pressure. Many people doubted us, common statements people made: “This isn’t going to work.” “Too risky of business.” “The world doesn’t need another chocolate bar.” “You’re wasting your money and others.” The noise didn’t matter, we kept believing in ourselves. We made promises to each other, to our community, and to our investors… Today, is a testament to keeping those promises. This is just the beginning; We still have many challenges/headwinds ahead, But we're ready to face them straight on. Shoutout to the entire Mid-Day Squares team for all your work. Shoutout to our CFO/COO Vanessa Olivia Palumbo CPA,CGA,EMBA for executing and getting it done. The road to $100 million continues. #cpg #profitable #entrepreneurship

My advice to anyone going through their entrepreneurial journey:: The secret to conquering difficult challenges is VISUALIZATION. By visualizing your goals and working backward, you can plan effectively and stay on track. It's easy to fall into the trap of aimless forward motion, but with a clear vision, you can avoid this and achieve success in both your professional and personal life. I have #goals for this week and I have a vision for what I want for Plum Labs What are yours? #venturecapital

It is National #EntrepreneursDay! Meghann Butcher, CEO and Founder of RepSpark, has faced challenges, celebrated victories, and witnessed the many entrepreneurial adventures of growing a business. Along the way, Meghann has learned the importance of setting goals and nurturing healthy mindsets, which has been key to growth: #Celebrate your people. Take time to acknowledge the people who work for you and are helping bring the vision to life. This not only boosts morale but also reinforces the belief that you value the people around you. #Collaboration and Support. Surround yourself with a network of supportive people who share your vision and values. Collaborative efforts often lead to innovative solutions and greater success. #Adaptability. The world is constantly changing, and flexibility is key to staying relevant and thriving. Be open to new ideas, technologies, and opportunities. Operating a business is a rollercoaster filled with the highest of highs and lowest of lows, but today, we are thankful for the leadership and vision Meghann has for #RepSpark!

Setbacks are an integral part of the entrepreneurial journey. Whether it's a failed strategy, a market downturn, or an unforeseen hurdle, setbacks are not defeats but valuable lessons. They provide insights that reshape strategies, enhance decision-making, and contribute to the resilience required for long-term success. #EaseMyDish

🕰️ In the hustle of entrepreneurial life, moments slip by. But remember, the metric of time well-spent isn't just in deals closed or products launched. It's in memories made, passions pursued, and in the silent moments of introspection. How are you spending your time beyond the boardroom? #TimeWellSpent #CherishTheMoments #BeyondTheBoardroom #ReflectAndRejoice #WomenWhoLead
