Before strategies and spreadsheets, it starts in your mind.
These 7 habits rewired how I think, act, and build:
1. Be Bold, But Think It Through
Risk is part of the game; know your downside and prep for it.
2. Don’t Wait to Feel Ready
Action beats planning. Start. Adjust as you go.
3. Adapt Early
Momentum comes from agility. Move before it’s perfect.
4. Solve Before You Sell
Fix real problems. Nail that, and your product sells itself.
5. Build a High-Energy Circle
Surround yourself with doers. Big thinking is contagious.
6. Stay Relentlessly Curious
Read, observe, ask. Curiosity finds the gold early.
7. Grit > Glamour
Show up daily. Especially when it’s hard.
For me, the biggest shift? Starting before I felt “ready.”
