Finding joy in the process instead of
fixating on the end makes it all worth it.

Ready for a cliche?
Less is more.
Period.
That to-do list thatโs crushing you
The meetings that shouldโve been emails.
The pressure to juggle everything perfectly.
Itโs all artificial.
The urgency is in your head.
And itโs keeping you busy but unproductive.
More isnโt better.
Itโs just more.

โ Strip away the non-essentials. โ Youโre left with what truly matters.

Controversial opinion: Independence is overrated.
We all want to be self-sufficient.
To prove weโre the best and we can do it all.
And so we build walls around us to prove weโre strong.
To prove we donโt need others to succeed in life and business.
But life is interdependent. Humans need humans. Period.
The biggest success stories?
Theyโre always a team effort.
Dig into any great achievement.
Youโll find supporters, mentors, and collaborators.
The most successful humans embrace interdependence as a strength.

I sold my bootstrapped business for $50M.
Yes, it was my vision. Yes, I set the pace.
But I would have never succeeded without my team.
Because no one does it alone. No one can do it alone.
