There’s a lot of nostalgia online for 2016.
For me, it was the year I registered the company.
No launch.
No announcements.
Just putting the legal structure in place before the work was ready.
I didn’t start trading straight away.
The work needed time to take shape, and I needed clarity about what it was and wasn’t.
That pause turned out to be one of the most important decisions I made.
It gave the business a steadiness it still relies on now.
It wasn’t visible but it mattered, more than I realised at the time.
