Ever wondered what it takes to build a business from scratch?
Two years ago, I jumped in headfirst.
It was a wild ride of highs and lows.
Some lessons were gentle nudges.
Others felt like a punch to the gut.
Each challenge made me stronger.
I learned to adapt and keep pushing.
Here are 15 lessons that shaped me:
→ Flexibility prints money.
→ Rejections are redirections.
→ Stay in the game.
→ Do it tired, just do it.
→ Your 100% changes daily.
→ Saying YES to others can mean NO to yourself.
→ Growth is chaotic.
→ Drop labels, talk human.
→ Buyers lie, read between the lines.
→ Problems are temporary.
→ High trust + high value = high sales.
→ If you don’t ask, the answer is always NO.
→ Work-life balance is a myth.
→ Authority pulls, desperation repels.
→ Execution beats ideas.
Entrepreneurship is a tough teacher.
It will test you, break you, and demand everything.
But if you can take the hits, stand up, and keep going...
Nothing can stop you.
