Entrepreneur

I want to change the world.

Without a doubt, the most rewarding thing is feeling the love from users whose lives have been changed for the better by your products or services. The most frustrating thing is the time it takes to get from start to fulfillment of your vision.

Falling for the "overnight success" myth. It's a long journey, and you have to go into it prepared for the emotional roller coasters every entrepreneur encounters.

Realize it's a long journey, surround yourself with great people, never stop learning.
