Getting My Sea Legs Back: Navigating the Storms of Business Ownership

As a business owner, you anticipate the inevitable: setbacks, surprises, and seasons of turbulence. You prepare for the ups and downs because that’s the nature of entrepreneurship. But even with all the planning in the world, nothing truly shields you from the emotional toll when a tidal wave of change crashes in, disrupting everything you’ve built.

That’s exactly what happened at The Wynning Experience.

For weeks about eight long ones to be exact, I felt completely off course. Projects shifted, plans unraveled, and the momentum I’d worked so hard to build seemed to slip through my fingers. I kept showing up, but behind the scenes, I was exhausted. And then it happened, I had a full-on meltdown.

But in that moment of unraveling, I rediscovered something far more powerful than strategy or schedules: my strength and my faith.

I remembered my why. Why I started The Wynning Experience. Why I’ve poured years of vision, heart, and hustle into this company. Why I keep going, even when the waves feel relentless.

Sometimes, we forget that it’s okay to hit pause. It’s okay to pivot. It’s okay to fall apart as long as we find a way to rise again.

Getting my sea legs back hasn’t been easy. But I’m steady now. Focused. And fueled by purpose. The storm reminded me that progress isn’t always linear, and the most important thing you can do as a leader is stay anchored in your truth even when the winds change.

If you’re a business owner or leader who feels off balance right now, I see you. You’re not alone. Just don’t forget who you are and why you started.

We’re back at The Wynning Experience. Stronger. Wiser. And more determined than ever.

Let’s go!
