I'd like to start off by saying...
Entrepreneurial life is hard and unpredictable.
In my observation only the most resilient, creative, smart, and hardest working talents finish their entrepreneurial rollercoaster ride with a big smile. Entrepreneurs are mostly recognised once they shine bright like a diamond, but we tend to forget that all diamonds are born under extrem pressure, and never overnight. I personally started from zero. I experienced years of painful pressure. It was never an option to give up. I understood, failure teaches the hardest lessons, but success unlocks freedom.
Today I enjoy to lead, build, teach, support and work alongside innovators and brillant talents.
Experience is not a guarantee to win, but it can have a drastic impact on our odds.
Speaker

Persistence and discovery
The process of writing invites discovery, where mistakes become lessons and revisions reveal clarity. It’s through persistence, reflection, and patience that the raw thoughts in your mind transform into a cohesive narrative. Embrace the moments of struggle, for they sharpen your skills and refine your voice. In writing, as in life, progress isn’t always linear, but every attempt brings you closer to uncovering the story only you can tell. Keep going, trust the process, and let the words flow.
