Advice to my younger self: Stop trying to do it all. Focus on what you’re good at, and trust the right people to handle the rest.

Here’s my brother and long-time business partner in his zone of genius, a coding wizard behind our successes. Trusting his expertise changed everything for us.

We failed at almost everything we started, burning through millions of hard-earned working capital. It was brutal. Back then, I was a control freak, micromanaging everything, striving for OCD-level perfection. It wasn’t sustainable, and it wasn’t working.

The turning point? Letting go. I stopped trying to control what wasn’t mine to control and surrendered to his strengths. The moment I embraced trust and collaboration, things started changing for us fast.

Business can be lonely and tough at times, but a partner doesn’t just make it bearable, they make it better. Find someone who complements your weaknesses, let them thrive in their zone of genius, and watch the magic happen.
