How multiple back surgeries shaped the way I wanna show up
6 years ago, I had my first back surgery.
I was stuck in bed for months.
Couldn’t walk. Couldn’t work. Couldn’t distract myself with “busy.”
When you can’t move, you think...And I started asking bigger questions.
Like..
“Why am I working the way I do?”
“Who am I building this for?”
“What kind of life do I actually want?”
It took 3 more surgeries to really get it:
The real cost wasn’t the pain. It was how I was spending my time.
I realized I’d built a business that depended on me feeling fine.
In the end, that wasn’t a business. It was a liability.
So I stripped it down, and rebuilt it around simplicity, leverage, and margin.
I made it a business that fits the life I want.
I realized that you don’t need to burn out to prove your value.
The most important is you need to build like someone who matters.
Because life *will* slow you down eventually.
Might as well build something that works before it does.
I'm not sharing that part of my life for sympathy, I wouldn't wish 4 surgeries on anyone. But I also wouldn’t trade what they taught me, about time, value, and resilience.
