Some key takeaways:
Leadership begins with self-leadership; you must lead yourself before effectively leading others.
Embrace iterations as growth opportunities rather than failures, using each to build new skills and insights.
Build adaptable and expandable structures in business that support energy and innovation rather than rigid frameworks that hinder growth.
Let go of the belief that something within you needs fixing; focus instead on what you can create and deepen.
Successful leadership and business growth require continuous pivoting, refinement, and the courage to start over when necessary.
