How Not To Die When Things Break: A Story Of When I Almost Closed Jakt

Reflections of a CEO

It was 2016. We had just closed at $2M in revenue last year, and I’m feeling great.

I couldn't know I would be considering shutting down Jakt a couple of months later.

Some of the events that unfolded that year almost broke me.

More than half of our team left us in a short period, clients were leaving us, I couldn’t seem to close any new business...

If you’re an entrepreneur, you might relate to this.

You might have hard times and think about shutting everything down because it’s not worth the stress, anxiety, or depression.

Reality is though: you’re not alone here.

Just as you, other people have been through their fair share of shit.

And if I got through mine, you can definitely get through yours.

In this podcast, I share with you the story of how I almost decided to shut down Jakt for good,

because I want to remind you that you’re not alone on this journey. And that things breaking might be a good thing for ONE special reason…

I’ll touch on:

- The TWO things that started happening within Jakt that almost broke me (3:38)

- Why things breaking turned out to be a blessing in disguise (8:12)

- How you need to frame these exact moments to actually grow from them (12:16)
