4 Lessons I Learned From Failing My First Business

I started my first company at 24.

I think I was too young.

Didn’t focus on the right things and ended up struggling.

That first experience was extremely difficult.

But it also taught me a lot.

I have been building my second business for a year now.

And the experience is entirely different so far.

It’s 10x more fun and easy

Here is what I got from it:

1/ Taste your entrepreneurial freedom

😅 I just do what I f@#ing want. Let me explain. You’re your own boss so why spend any time doing what you don’t love? Of course, I do take time here and there for things I don’t like doing but that represents a max of 15% of my time.

2/ You only have today

🌈 I focus on having a great day. I don’t know about tomorrow. I don’t know what results I am going to get. And I don’t care. I just love my day-to-day. That’s all I care about. This is how I can put in 8 to 9 hours of intense work every day without feeling tired and wake up motivated.

3/ Love your team
