Every entrepreneur has chapters—moments that define where they are, what they’ve learned, and where they’re going next. In this solo episode, I talk about the importance of recognizing your current chapter in both business and life. Whether you’re launching your first location or preparing for an exit, knowing where you are helps you see what’s possible next.

I share personal stories from my own journey and lessons from my mentors, including how reflection, perspective, and truth fuel growth. You can’t skip chapters—but you can make each one count.

Key Takeaways:

• Every entrepreneur experiences universal chapters—start, struggle, scale, and sustain.
• Knowing your current chapter gives you clarity on what comes next.
• Surround yourself with people one or two chapters ahead.
• Truth and perspective are your greatest tools for growth.
• You have the power to write your next chapter—on purpose.
