I have to thank all the micromanagers.

They've helped me build my business.

Yep, you read that right.

You know the type:

→ They redo your work because it’s “never quite right.”

→ They hold endless meetings to discuss the smallest details.

→ Every tiny decision needs their approval, slowing everything down.

→ They “check in” constantly, making you feel like they’re waiting for you to slip up.

→ They demand updates so frequently that you spend more time reporting than working.

For years, I put up with this in various jobs.

It made me question

→ If I was the problem.

→ If I wasn't GOOD enough.

→ If I wasn't working HARD enough.

But eventually, I realized the issue wasn’t my performance.

It was the environment built on control.

Here’s the ironic part – these micromanagers pushed me (and others like me and you) out of the traditional 9-5 grind and into building something of our own.

Now, I get to support other entrepreneurs how to create businesses

that operate without any of the above nonsense.

→ No micromanaging.

→ No crushing creativity.

→ No crossing boundaries.

→ No BURNOUT - Duhhhhhh.

So, I genuinely want to say THANK YOU to all the micromanagers.

Without you, I might not have taken the leap into entrepreneurship.

You’ve helped build a business that values:

→ Autonomy

→ Freedom

→ Trust

I appreciate your help!

That's it for today.

We are all amazing and doing our best—and that’s what truly matters. 🌱
