Running my business has been one of the most eye-opening journeys of my life. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that mixing friendship with business doesn’t always work. What starts as good vibes and shared dreams can quickly turn into misunderstandings, unmet expectations, or lack of accountability. I’ve realized that sometimes, to truly grow and shape a business the way you envision, you have to walk the path alone. Being solo doesn’t mean being unsupported—it means being clear on your vision, your pace, and your standards. Another key lesson is that success isn’t linear. Not every day ends with a sale or a smile. Some days bring profits, others bring losses, and sometimes, despite all efforts, there’s nothing at all. But each of those days teaches patience, resilience, and the importance of consistency. I've come to understand that entrepreneurship is not just about making money—it’s about growth, self-discipline, and pushing through even when things aren’t going your way. It has taught me to celebrate small wins and learn from the setbacks, to stay grounded during the highs and hopeful during the lows. Every challenge has built character, every risk has taught strategy, and every moment—good or bad—has added to the story of my journey. If there’s one thing I now know for sure, it’s that business will always test your limits before it reveals your potential.
