I often wonder: If I could relive the past three years of my life, would I take a completely different path?

After graduating with my master's degree, my first job was as a product manager, spending every day working with programmers to refine digital products.

At my busiest, I was simultaneously responsible for multiple products, serving both enterprise clients and end users.

I had to constantly navigate between requirements and delivery, coordinating project teams, tracking progress, and writing PRDs.

My deepest realization back then was: having skills alone is far from enough.

How many documents can you stay up all night writing? How many projects can you monitor simultaneously? A person's 24 hours have a ceiling that's brutally clear.

Later, I transitioned to enterprise sales at a big tech company, where I remain today.

Yes, someone who teaches you about personal branding and solo entrepreneurship still has a day job to attend. (Laughs) (Similarly, I don't encourage you to quit without a backup plan)
