If you are building a small business, you need to hear this.
A few years ago I experienced something that many founders are afraid to talk about publicly.
A company entered my life pretending to be supportive and collaborative… and later turned around and used my work and my trust against me.
Then came something even worse.
A public blog post that contained statements about me and my business that were not true.
It was one of the most difficult things I have experienced as an entrepreneur.
I’m sharing this story not to create drama but to shed light on something that happens far more often than people realize.
Small businesses are vulnerable.
And sometimes the biggest harm doesn’t come from other small businesses.
It comes from corporations with deeper pockets and far more resources.
If you’re a founder, protect your work, your designs, and your reputation.
And if something like this has happened to you, know that you are not alone.
Truth always has a way of surfacing eventually.
