About

I'm working on the First-Gen Founder Resource Library: A comprehensive collection of resources that helps founders grow quickly and build seamlessly. "What's a first-gen founder?" Well, this is a title I coined describing people, like me, who were the first to create a business in their family. Hence, first-(gen)eration. I'm not talking about founders who have scaled to billions and created unicorn companies. The Founder Resource Library is for founders at Stage 1. Maybe you sold one item or got one monthly subscriber. With those achievements, you earned your place in the founder's club.

My articles reached 1.6k readers last month. It was not always like that In 2019, that number was 0. In 2020, not much changed. In 2021, one article blew up. Everyone starts at 0. 4 lessons that ll keep you going until you blow up 1/ Pain is part of the process. Don't resist it, embrace it. Accepting vulnerability can lead to life-changing moments. 2/ Life exists in cycles. Mental fog is not permanent. Keep pushing, knowing that the light will shine through again. 3/ Always find the good in the bad. It's not about toxic positivity, but about acknowledging the positive after a negative event. 4/ Know when you need a timeout. Identifying what speeds up the process and monitoring them can help prevent burnout. Bad days are a natural part of the process. On these difficult days, it's tempting to give up, but it's important to remember that they will eventually pass. All it takes is one spark to launch everything you have been building.
