One of the most challenging moments for me was when we ran out of funding and had to decide whether to shut down or find a way to pivot. I overcame it by gathering my team, brainstorming new ideas, and eventually finding a niche market that we could serve with minimal additional investment. It was a tough period, but staying focused and being flexible helped us turn things around.
