We don’t talk enough about failure in entrepreneurship.

Especially in creative fields, where the stakes feel personal and the work is often an extension of our identity.

But here’s the truth: every “failure” is a “learning.”
And every learning is a stitch in the cloth of your growth.

As artists and entrepreneurs, we’re often tempted to wait for perfect.

We procrastinate. We stall. We scroll instead of starting.

We tell ourselves we’ll launch when the website is ready, when the offer is polished, when the timing feels “right.”

But perfection isn’t the point.

It’s not how clarity arrives.

It’s not how confidence is built.

And it’s certainly not how community is formed.

What I’ve learned, and what I remind the fiber artists I work with, is this:

✨ Your failure is your learning. Your learning is your growth.

Every stumble is a stitch in the bigger cloth.

Every delay is a thread you’ll eventually weave back in.

Every “wrong turn” is part of the map.

This declaration is how I stay grounded when things don’t go as planned.

It’s how I support others through the vulnerable work of building businesses that feel authentic, regenerative, and true.

So I’ll ask you what I often ask my community:

What’s one “failure” that turned out to be a turning point in your own creative or entrepreneurial journey?

I’d love to hear your story.

Drop it in the comments or DM me if you’d rather share privately.

Point is, let’s normalize the learning and stitch growth into the narrative.
