In my case, building my startup Selftalk - an app for self-therapy, transformed my character big time.
1. I became much more grounded, and connected to reality.
2. I discovered so many things about myself, good and bad, which significantly deepened my self-awareness.
3. I’ve developed immense respect and compassion for fellow entrepreneurs, creators, and doers. It’s easy to critique from the sidelines, but it’s an entirely different experience to be in the arena, facing the challenges head-on.
