I’m grateful every single day that I closed and that I’m where I am today.

Without making that decision to close I wouldn’t be where I am today. Of course, I was wrong and closing the business ended up being the best course of action. I thought that maybe I could turn things around - I said that closing-up shop wasn’t the right choice. While the fail ended up being for the best - it sure didn’t feel like it at the time. Next hardest part was to bounce back from a bad decision. For me, a very difficult decision was accepting the fact that my startup failed. Some bad and some good decisions will occur daily. At some point you will have to make difficult decisions.
