#UnlearningGrowth

I was closing the acquisition Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, I was back on the floor with my team. The buyer said I was "too attached." Attachment is leverage, and I should have never let go. When you sign the dotted line on a younger dream, you’re silencing a future version of yourself. Mine started shouting in month nine. I spent nine million pounds to hear my own founder-niche again. Not for revenue. For resonance. The board called it regression. I call it reclamation economics. You don’t exit companies—you room-share with them until you both know your worth. Some years cost everything to learn nothing. The real tuition is paying attention the second time. #ExitStrategy #FounderPsychology #DisruptfulLeadership #EntrepreneurialEloquence #UnlearningGrowth
