No one tells you that building a business means always feeling like everyone else is winning but you.
Selling your products, just to buy more product to sell more, and pay yourself nothing.
Sleepless nights.
And it’s more fulfilling to do it for yourself than anyone else.
4 things I learned the hard way about leadership:
1. Being liked is a myth
2. Clarity beats charisma
3. Silence creates confusion
4. Delayed decisions cost trust
Honest confession:
There are paths I didn’t take.
Not because they were wrong, but because they required courage I didn’t have yet.
I won’t repeat that lesson.
