The First Set is the Deepest

Have you ever noticed that the first set is always the toughest when lifting weights? It feels a bit awkward, unexpectedly challenging, and maybe even a little intimidating. 

But then comes the second set—things start to click. You’ve done this before; your muscles engage, and it starts to feel more natural. 

By the third set, you’re in the zone. Your form is spot on, your breathing is in sync, and you feel strong.

Finding your rhythm in business is much the same. The early stages can be daunting, but with guidance, you build confidence, refine your skills, and ultimately find your strength and purpose.

Launching a product and stepping into entrepreneurship isn’t so different. Imagine having a coach to guide you, correct your course, and cheer you on—someone to help you focus, avoid costly mistakes, and build the foundation for success.

At Rocket to Retail, that’s exactly what we aim to do. With courses, coaching, and consulting, our clients benefit from the 25+ years of experience we’ve gained through countless successful launches and a few lessons learned. We’re here to help others find their stride, strengthen their voice, and get their product into the market with confidence.

How has having a mentor, a coach or a seasoned advisor helped you in your career? What’s the best advice you can give new entrepreneurs and small business owners embarking on this journey?
