Too many people are scared to try new things, to change directions or to simply stop what isn’t working because of what others think or the fear of embarrassment.

No. It’s better to have put your all in and tried than to have sat on your fat ass doing nothing.
I’d much prefer to have started multiple projects/ businesses than to have done none and wondered what if.
NK is one of 6 businesses I’ve tried my hand at. The one I couldn’t stop even when I wanted to. The one I’m the most passionate about, the one that during (almost) every stage it still excites me.
I wanted a restaurant, found one, wasn’t what I wanted so we renovated it. Put TONS of money in, making it everything I saw in my dreams, ran it for a year and started to resent going there.
I wasn’t sleeping. I was even dreaming about the shop. I couldn’t get a day off. The stress was beyond. We were running at a loss. Our overall outgoings were £20k a month. I wasn’t seeing my kids. When it came to decide whether to renew or not, I had to just cut my losses.
And whilst there are some aspects that I miss. I don’t regret it one bit. It was something I wanted - I came, I saw, I conquered but the peace of mind once it was closed..https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ˜©" title="Mattes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Mattes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ™ŒđŸœ" title="Raising hands (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (mittlerer Hautton)">
So I guess I say all that to say this...it’s okay to try different things, to want more, it’s amazing to follow what you feel is the natural progression of your path & hang in there in the tough times, but also tap into how you really feel and know when it’s time to walk away.
