This morning, I posted about needing a graphics designer and was flooded with responses. Most people were eager to help, but they all wanted to schedule a call sometime next week. That’s pretty typical, right? We’re all busy, juggling multiple things, and pushing meetings a few days out seems normal. But then, one person stood out. Instead of waiting for next week, they asked if we could meet today—no hesitation, no delay. We jumped on a call, discussed the opportunity, and by the end of the conversation, we agreed to move forward. Here’s the powerful lesson in all of this: Money likes speed. I had an immediate need, and the person who stepped up right away, ready to take action, is the one who won the business. It wasn’t about who had the best pitch or the most experience. It was about who was willing to move quickly and show they were hungry for the opportunity. As entrepreneurs, we often get caught up in planning, scheduling, and waiting for the perfect moment. But the truth is, sitting and waiting can cost you valuable opportunities. The world moves fast, and if you’re not ready to move with it, someone else will. Action creates momentum, and that momentum leads to success. So ask yourself—how bad do you want it? Are you willing to act now, seize the moment, and make things happen? Or will you let the opportunity slip away while you wait for the “right time”? Remember, success doesn’t wait for the perfect moment—it rewards those who take action. How fast you move today could determine where you stand tomorrow.

Had a great conversation with @Justin Spears yesterday about the latest in tech, AI and our personal experiences in the field. We're already booked for round two next week! Eager to connect with more people in the community.

Happy Wednesday! I have been part of the community for about a month but have connected with 2-3 people only. Had great calls with them. Looking to connect with more people on just genuine networking 1-1 calls 👋

My tagline is: I love to build; products and teams, brands and dreams. I've successfully launched multiple of my own products and teams, and now I'm dedicated to helping others navigate their journeys. I'm excited to share my expertise in tech and entrepreneurship and to inspire others to embrace technology as a powerful tool for growth. I've faced my fair share of challenges in my journey, from setbacks and failures to lessons learned and successes.

Beyond tech, I'm a sports enthusiast who recognizes the value of sports in personal development. I enjoy exploring new cultures through travel, particularly in South America and Asia and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn and grow.
