The Stories We Forget to Tell Ourselves — Rewriting the Entrepreneurial Narrative
Every entrepreneur carries two stories:
the one we tell the world… and the one we whisper to ourselves when we’re tired, alone, or unsure if we still have it in us.
The public story is polished — “Business is great,” “I’m scaling,” “I’m busy.”
But underneath, there’s the private narrative:
I’m overwhelmed. I’m not sure this is working. I think I lost myself somewhere this year. How do I get back to the part of this I actually love?
Here’s the truth: entrepreneurs rarely suffer from lack of strategy.
We suffer from outdated stories — narratives written by old versions of ourselves, old beliefs, old fears.
And December, more than any other month, has a way of revealing the mismatch.
