Taylor said it best: sometimes the math isn’t mathing. In this episode of The Venue Underground, Kate, Gemma, and Rachel break down the girl math of entrepreneurship: the sleepless nights, the bad reviews that stick longer than they should, and the mental gymnastics we do to convince ourselves we’re “making it.”
We talk about:
The girl math of lost sleep vs. revenue
Why saying “no” is sometimes the smartest yes
Pricing your energy and sanity like money
Burnout seasons vs. balance seasons
Pivoting without losing your “why”
If you’ve ever felt like running a business was its own era, this one’s for you. Swifties, entrepreneurs, and dreamers alike, Taylor was right.
