Problems are constant when you’re building something new. But here’s my lens: the only real problem is the one you can’t solve with your current means. Everything else is just noise.

Quick lessons from Ep. 2: • Speed of Action/Execution > theory (best research comes from doing) • Learn to describe your product in one sentence • Founder’s never stop sourcing top talent

Pursue a goal for who it helps you to become, not just for what you gain.

Your growth depends on how much truth you can embrace without emotionally deflecting or defending.

When you’re in the room with movers and shakers, listen with your ears, not your ego.

Never came across an excuse that got rid of a problem - why make any?

You move different when the goal is to be successful - not seen.

When change is uncomfortable to you, growth looks like an enemy.

Finding the bad in every positive situation, or expecting the worst when things have been good lately, is a form of self-sabotage… Not preparation for handling difficult situations. You deserve the good that’s happening. Stop stressing and Give thanks.

Nothing builds momentum like doing what you said you were going to do. No excuses. No fancy tactics. Mute distractions and get to work.

The vision is no good if you're the only one on the team who can see "it.",

There’s a big difference between failing and failure. One is a temporary event and the other is a stationary mindset. Adjust, learn from what took place and give it another go. You’re not a failure because you’ve failed.

Hey leaders, Your team doesn't need you to be perfect; they just need you to accept the idea that you're not.

If the way to maintain valuable relationships is to treat people BETTER than you wish to be treated and not just equal to the way you want to be treated - how many of your current relationships would you still keep?

A skillset developed and mastered over time becomes a gift.

If you don’t know your gift, focus instead on developing a skill.

"Typically when you're growing through the ranks of building your brand, you make the mistake of thinking that branding is a logo." - Ep 154 @Mostafa_Ghonim

Stop expecting a big return from relationships you no longer invest in.

You cannot fulfill God’s purpose and satisfy people’s opinion of you at the same time.

Two pivotal moments define your character; how you respond when your desires are fulfilled and when they are delayed.
