from Bound By Art: A Tattoo Artist's Survival Guide · host Missi Blue
We've all faced those moments where everything falls apart despite our best preparations. Today, I'm sharing my personal experience with a failed management hire that cost me a year of progress, and the lessons that transformed how I handle setbacks in my business. Whether you're dealing with staffing challenges, client issues, or creative blocks, this episode offers practical strategies to help you maintain momentum when you'd rather just lick your wounds. What you will learn in this episode: Why waiting to recover after a setback often prolongs your suffering and derails your progress How to use the "roller derby technique" of using failure's momentum to carry you back to standing The importance of detaching emotionally from business failures to see opportunities clearly Specific steps for analyzing what went wrong without getting stuck in self-blame How to recognize and address red flags in the hiring process that I initially ignored Why immediate execution after failure is critical, even when it's the last thing you want to do Practical strategies for maintaining systems and momentum when disappointment hits Links: boundbyart.com bluebirdtattoos.com instagram.com/tattoosbymissiblue instagram.com/boundbyartproject instagram.com/bluebirdtattoostudio Music: Unknown Road - The Harp Project
