Sometimes the bravest thing isn't starting. It's starting again.

Someone once told me to skip the corporate life and join a startup instead. That advice changed everything. When everyone chased big company names after college, I chose chaos. I joined a startup. No fancy title. No clear path. Just pure excitement. 10 years flew by. And I wouldn't change a thing. The startup bug bit me so hard, I had to build something of my own. Reality check: Being a founder isn't like those Instagram success stories. You can't build a company on nights and weekends. It takes everything you've got. We built something. Launched it. Got customers. But that hockey-stick growth everyone talks about? Yeah... never happened. We had to switch lanes just to keep food on the table. Every founder knows this feeling. Sometimes Plan B pays the bills while Plan A stays a dream. But here's the thing about dreams: They don't die easily. So here I am in 2025. Ready to bet on myself one more time. Building a SaaS product, armed with all the scars and lessons from before. To every founder who's: Stumbled Gotten up Tried again I see you. I am you. The best founder stories don't start with "I made it on my first try" They start with "let me try one more time". Starting fresh in 2025? You're not alone. Remember: Sometimes the bravest thing isn't starting. It's starting again.

Your journey really resonates. Sometime its not about the first attempt, but the willingness to try again when things don't go as planned.

The true test of founder isn't whether they succeed right away, but if they're willing to try again and again, no matter how tough it gets.

Starting again is often the hardest yet most rewarding part of the journey.
