It is not a sprint. It is a marathon with many sprints.

Great ask! For me, it's all about embracing those bumps in the road. Startups are like an adventure, and the real treasure is in the experience itself. 😁 BTW. My product - Junior Design Bundle, is officially launched! Your support would mean the world to me! πŸ™πŸ₯Ί Thanks in advance!

Treat the journey as if you're a scientist inventing stuff. Be scientific, make hypotheses, keep making new moves and learn.

The most valuable lesson I've learned as the CEO of Logomakerr.ai, is the necessity of customer-centricity. Our success hinges on understanding startups' and small businesses' needs, challenges, and aspirations. We continuously refine our platform by listening to our users to provide a seamless logo design and branding experience. This lesson reinforces our commitment to empowering businesses through accessible, AI-driven solutions that resonate with our customers' unique identities and goals.

When building with partners/friends be sure to understand each other's roles ASAP. Stick to the plan, domain knowledge doesn't always equate to leading the company. 🫑

Being an entrepreneur is not easy. There will be setbacks, failures, and challenges. But if you are resilient, you will be able to overcome these challenges and succeed.

you need to act as if...as if you're back is against the wall, that your business is going to die tomorrow, that every sale matters, etc. in that quiet place of desperation comes the most creative problem solving.

entrepreneurship isn't just about startups or profits. it's a journey within. each failure, a lesson in humility. each win, a reminder of transient moments. consistency over intensity. people over process. listening, over speaking. but above all, understanding that the journey shapes us, more than any destination ever could. it's the becoming, not just the being.

every venture's a story, every lesson a chapter. for me, the loudest lesson? the journey matters more than the destination. building a business isn't linear. embrace the chaos. failure? it's just a plot twist, not the end. listen more, speak less. feedback, even silent, is gold. and lastly, surround yourself with people who fuel your story. because at the end of the day, it's not just what you build, but who you become along the way.
