Its important to set clear boundaries from the start, and stick to them.

I tell everyone to surround themselves with good people and good clients who lift you up.

The result: pure magic.

Always remember that you are amazing!

I overcame it by demonstrating expertise, building a strong web connection and continuously improving my skills.

For others, focus on showcasing achievements, seeking mentors and staying resilient.

I dont believe work isnt personal it is.

It reflects time, effort and, hopefully, heart.

The challenge was not only in product acceptance but also in securing shelf space.

Failing slowly is a gut punch to any business and the biggest struggle I faced in the past.

Empowering a core team to share their strongest views with open hearts and without fear has proven invaluable.
