“Navigating the initial 3 to 5 years is bound to be an uphill task. However, these formative years allow you to sculpt your enterprise's foundation. Hard work today is the seed you sow for a prosperous tomorrow.
Another vital piece of advice I'd like to share is to pursue your passion and strive to convert it into your profession. This may seem daunting at first, but once achieved, work will no longer feel like a chore; it becomes a source of joy. Your growth transforms into your daily rhythm. You begin to flourish both professionally and personally, blurring the line between work and play.”
