<li>
Stephanie Polen, founder of <a href="http://thepolengroup.com">The Polen Group</a>: “Give yourself permission to be emotional and recognize that that's your humanity - that is the thing that makes you special and the work that you do. And it's probably why that big client hired you in the first place.”</li>
<li>
Khe Hy, founder of <a href="http://radreads.co">RadReads</a>: “View these challenges not as a death of identity, but an opportunity to recalibrate your emotional resilience.”</li>
<li>
Marisol Dahl, cofounder of <a href="https://www.notion.so/d7d311c82a3c49ef8adba63e04d25ee6?pvs=21">Together Agency</a>: “When you part ways with a big client, give yourself permission to take a beat so that you can reflect and digest on your own experience with this client.”</li>
<li>
Chris Wilson, founder of <a href="http://simplifyyourwhy.com">Simplify Your Why</a>: “Try more experiments with your business; give yourself the chance to iterate and fail (it helps if you live below your means!). It's rare that your first business model will work.”</li>
<li>
Maya Middlemiss, founder of <a href="https://linktr.ee/mayamiddlemiss">Remote Work Europe</a>: “Give yourself permission to do something for yourself in terms of your interests and professional development. Don't let anybody own so much of your time.”</li>
