In this solo episode, I share a personal story from my early college days that shaped the way I think about growth, mentorship, and resilience in business.   I wasn’t a competitive swimmer when I moved from Bulgaria to attend Saint Peter’s University, but somehow, I ended up on the Division 1 swim team. What followed was a four-year journey of learning, failing, overtraining, adjusting, and ultimately finding my stride.   The lessons I learned in the pool apply to entrepreneurship more than I ever expected. From self-sabotage to breakthroughs, this episode is a reminder that no one succeeds alone! The right coach, the right fit, and the right mindset can change everything!   In This Episode, You’ll Learn:   Why doing more isn’t always the answer How self-doubt can sabotage your performance The importance of finding the right coach or mentor, not just any coach Why personalized strategies outperform one-size-fits-all every time How to move forward even if your past results weren’t great   Key Takeaways:   Your past doesn’t define your future but you have to let go off what went wrong before!   The right strategy, mindset, and support system can lead to your breakthrough, just like it did for me.   Connect with Me: Instagram: @blackseams Website: blackseams.com Email: Boryana@blackseaams.com   If this episode has brought you any value, insight, or even just a moment of inspiration, I’d be so grateful if you could take a minute to leave a review.
