Hey. The most unexpected lesson for me was learning how to effectively manage stress. I thought I knew how to manage stress, but the stress of creating my own product is a different story. It's especially bad in the early stages, when you have to combine working on your project with day-to-day job 😃

Everybody just figures it out as they go along

The lesson is consistency

Take risks. Be transparent. Build a great team.

Hello! Qosim here. For me, it was realizing just how crucial empathy is when building a team. I was so focused on skills and results that I overlooked emotional intelligence. Once I started fostering empathy, collaboration and morale soared. It was a game-changer for us! 💡🤝
