Stop romanticizing the grind. Working 80-hour weeks on something you’re 'passionate' about isn’t sustainable or smart. Burnout is real, and it doesn’t care how much you love what you do. Build smarter, not harder. Find balance and create systems that allow you to scale.

Your gut might be telling you your idea is gold, but your customers might think it’s trash. That’s why feedback is everything. Ask the damn questions, listen to the answers, and don’t be afraid to pivot when your 'brilliant' idea isn’t so brilliant after all.
