Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
My most important quality may was my discipline, its a lot of time and money that goes into starting a business, so you have to learn how to save when nobody is looking and take some L,s. However some other qualities of knowledge that impacted me was my willing to work for free, some people could help you by just letting you do something FOR THEM I took advantage of that and now, they call me for work. Another important quality is that I understand that I need a team, a lot of times were so independent and wants do it on our own that we forget that its a group effort.

Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
When I feel overwhelmed I take a break, I write everything down and just look at everything for a couple days, until I can come up with a plan. This actually happens a lot, especially once you get going.
