The hardest part of my business failing was not the loss of the business. It was the loss of the identity that came with being a successful entrepreneur.
I had become so attached to this identity that when others asked how the non-existent business was doing, I said, “Great!” The chasm between the image of being financially set for life and owning a failed business was painful. I felt like a fraud.
