1. Figure out your strengths and lean into them as well as learn to recognise your weaknesses. Find someone to help with the things you aren’t naturally great at.
2. Overnight success is a myth, everyone has failures.
3. To be a successful CEO, you need to struggle and have difficulties, figuring things out as you go.
4. There is not a one-size-fits-all go-to-market strategy. You need to research and decide which would work best for your business as well as you as a CEO or founder.
5. Speaking to real people gives you a different type of knowledge and wisdom than if you were to just ask Google, or AI for the answer. People talking about their own experiences is invaluable.
6. What it takes to become a successful CEO when odds are against you.
