Building a business has been the most intense classroom of my life. It pushed me to unlearn shortcuts, question my assumptions, and discover what actually makes a business stand, survive, and grow.

Here are the big lessons my journey left me with:

• Launching without deep research is like walking blind.

• Ads can’t be the backbone of growth — strong products and organic credibility matter more.

• Brand building isn’t fluff; it’s what builds trust and repeat business.

• And above all, resilience, patience, and a long-term mindset are non-negotiable.

I’ve written about these experiences in detail—what went wrong, what worked, and the frameworks I built along the way. Dive into the full posts here:
