Episode 13: The Growth Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship

Growth isn’t a straight line, it’s a roller coaster worth riding.

Every business owner knows the feeling. The excitement of a new idea, the late nights building something from nothing, and the self doubt that sometimes sneaks in when things get quiet. Entrepreneurship is a wild ride, and this episode of The Accounting Edit is all about embracing the ups, the downs, and everything in between.

In this episode, we open up about what our first year in business has really looked like. From celebrating our first clients to handling rejections, we share the unfiltered truth behind growing an accounting firm from the ground up. It’s messy, emotional, and incredibly rewarding.

One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned is that growth doesn’t happen in a straight line. Some weeks feel full of momentum, you’re signing clients, connecting with new people, and feeling unstoppable. Other weeks, it’s quieter, and you start questioning whether you’re doing enough. That’s where community and mindset come in.

We talk about how networking has helped us find genuine support, why therapy and mental health check ins matter more than most people admit, and how celebrating even small milestones keeps you grounded through the chaos.

For anyone who’s ever felt the roller coaster of entrepreneurship, the mix of pride, fear, and persistence that comes with building something from scratch, this one’s for you.

What we cover in this episode:
• The reality of the highs and lows in business growth
• How community and networking have shaped our journeys
• Why self doubt and imposter syndrome are part of the process
• How to turn rejection into opportunity
• The importance of celebrating small wins and building resilience
• Why therapy and mental health support matter for entrepreneurs
