I believe you have full control to turn yourself into a person you desire to be. 💪🏾 Growing up, I was not a sportsy person. 🧍‍♀️ 2 years ago, I did my first 5K and got into running. 🏃🏽‍♀️ Today, I ran my first easy 5K - a run that felt like a walk in the park. Next up: easy 10k! 😁

I have almost always found that when you communicate responsibly with your stakeholders (users, team, investors) - no matter how bad the news, people respond with compassion, love, and respect. Irresponsible communication evokes feelings of anger, resentment, and fear.

3/4th segment of a run is the hardest. In the first half, you’ve not exhausted yourself yet. In the last 1/4th, end is in sight. It’s the 3/4th where you start losing hope. Whatever it is that you do in life, run the 3/4th segment.

Customer Love > Marketing. Prematurely investing in marketing or trying to build a brand without building a good product or solving your customer pain points can backfire. Your brand can get built through word of mouth & customer love when your customers are your net promoters.

(3/n) We have expanded our focus to include women’s fertility. It’s unfortunate to see that delayed marriages & early onset of hormonal & metabolic disorders like PCOS, Thyroid & Obesity is making it much harder for women to conceive than a generation ago.
