During a recent podcast interview, I was asked about the most difficult lesson I've learned up until this point. While taking stock of the last few years, I really tried to think of all the mistakes I had made over time and pinpoint something I'd learned. Not surprisingly, I was unable to narrow my mistakes down to just one—there have been many; perhaps more than I ever cared to admit, until recently.
Although my setbacks have been plentiful, so have my comebacks. While reflecting on the past few years, I've realized that every step backward I've taken has somehow allowed me to take two steps forward.
