This is such a sharp and grounded account of what building actually looks like. No sugar-coating, just decisions, data, and doing the work. That 79-hour stat alone says more than most “busy” founders ever admit.

Which of these 15 lessons did you resist at first but now wouldn’t go without?

Thanks Melanie! Really appreciate that. Adaptability has been huge, and that stat doesn’t surprise me at all.

The one that hit hardest over time? “Things will take longer and cost more than anticipated.” It’s a tough one to accept, but absolutely true.

Thanks Petar. Excellent advice and extremely insightful. Really glad to know that it's also almost expected for everything to go wrong. 😅

Haha yes Sam, chaos is part of the game 😄 Once you expect things to go wrong, it’s easier to stay calm and keep building. Appreciate the kind words!
