My support team

The most important asset of a founder is not grit. It’s their support team.

I used to run on 12 to 14 hour workdays, only focusing on my work.

I stopped eating healthy. Stopped doing sports

But most of all, stopped looking for great connections!

I trusted my grit would be enough to get me through the hardships of entrepreneurship

And in a sense, I was right. It allowed me to endure it!

But it did not give me a way out.

I was stuck in the same endless loop.

Not believing when other people told me “there’s a better way to achieve your goals!”

I thought my way was the only way. How naive!

It all changed when I started creating a tight support group around me

People with the same mindset of creating and growing.

But those same people push me to think differently.

Remind me that every once in a while you do need to spend some time off, to recharge yourself. To reconnect with yourself

Now, I’m extremely lucky to say that I have a tight group of people that will willingly dispose of 1h of their busy days to hear out my concerns and help me out

The same way I make myself available to these people with the same intensity

Great partnerships are a 2-way street – in life, love and business

You get what you give

And since I got this, everything became way easier

When I have a bad day, I can choose one of two ways

• Either rely on my grit to keep me going (which sometimes is much required!!)
• Or call a great friend to get 10 mins of deep insight

Usually, those are the moments I make the best decisions in life
