Was it Corona that killed my business?

I recently announced my departure from Stoned Santa, and I received many heartful messages wishing me luck and strength,

But I noticed a pattern — “Almost everyone thought that Corona broke our backs, and that’s why I had to move on.”

And I could have continued to let them believe that and pin all the blame on Corona.

The truth?

I had taken my startup for granted all along, and I would have to pay the price sometime or the other, and I think the Pandemic only catalyzed this process.

I worked hard, I learned many things, but while all this was happening, I had started taking it for granted.

Why am I sharing this?

cuz one thing I know that helps me go to bed with peace every night is being brutally HONEST with myself,

Owning up to the fact that I quit because of what I did, was very liberating and brought peace. 🍎

And looking back, I want to thank the Pandemic for teaching me lessons that would have otherwise taken me longer, and the heart-break then would have been even more brutal.
