Unfiltered Business
Business is brutal. Some days, you feel like an astronaut flying in space, and others feel like a dump truck is driving over you. The rollercoaster towards a never-ending goldmine is wild.
For me, it pulled my personality and insecurities apart. But in return, it helped me rebuild a better version through the myriad of mistakes I made and the journey from failure to outcome.
I’m here to give you my unfiltered journey, in the hopes you realise that pushing yourself is the greatest gift of all.
