There was a time my team wasn’t performing.
Deadlines missed.
Projects delayed.
Frustrations rising.

I blamed everything — the market, clients, pressure.
Until one day, during a one-on-one, a teammate said quietly:

“We’re confused because you keep changing directions.”

It stung.
But they were right.

I was the problem.
Not the team. Not the system. Me.

That moment hurt — but it freed me.
Because self-awareness is the most underrated growth skill.

Once I owned my part, everything improved — the team, results, and even my peace.

Growth starts when you stop pointing fingers…
and start holding a mirror.

There are days I don’t feel inspired.
Days where the coffee doesn’t fix the fog.
Days where even writing one line feels impossible.

In the early days, I’d quit on those days.
Wait for “motivation” to come back.

But it rarely did.

So I built something better — discipline.
A promise to myself that I’d show up no matter how I felt.

Now I understand —
Motivation is a spark.
Discipline is the fire that keeps you going when the spark fades.

Success isn’t built on your best days.
It’s built on the days you push through your worst.

In the early days of Beftly, I thought I had to have every answer.
Client questions, team questions, strategy questions — I’d make something up just to sound confident.

Until one day, a designer on my team said:

“You don’t always have to know. We can figure it out together.”

And it shifted everything.

Because leadership isn’t about being the smartest in the room.
It’s about being the most honest.

Now when I don’t know something, I say it openly.
And the funny thing?
That’s when the best ideas come — from the team, not me.

The moment I dropped the pressure of perfection,
the team picked up the ownership of innovation.

Sometimes, saying “I don’t know” is the smartest move you can make.

A while ago, I noticed something small but dangerous:
We were starting to only talk during meetings.

No real check-ins.
No random chats.
Just “tasks,” “deadlines,” and “updates.”

So I introduced something new:
Every Friday, we spend 15 minutes not talking about work.

No agenda. No slides.
Just stories, laughter, weird facts, random wins, anything but KPIs.

At first, it felt awkward.
Now it’s everyone’s favorite part of the week.

Because teams don’t just bond through projects.
They bond through moments.

That small ritual turned coworkers into collaborators.
And that’s what builds culture, not team-building exercises, but team-belonging moments.

November is a strategic reset. Recommit to your vision, reinforce your discipline, and execute with clarity.
Progress isn’t accidental, it’s a leadership choice, made daily.

I used to wait until I was “ready.”
Ready to start.
Ready to post.
Ready to launch.

But that moment never came.
Because “ready” is an illusion.

One day, I posted a video I wasn’t proud of.
Lighting was bad. My voice cracked.
But I did it anyway.

And people connected with it — not because it was perfect, but because it was real.

That day I realized:
Confidence doesn’t come before you start.
It comes because you start.

Every awkward post.
Every failed pitch.
Every rough idea.

That’s where confidence is built — in the messy middle.

Everyone says — “Hire smart people.”
So I did.

People with degrees, experience, confidence, and portfolios that screamed “I know what I’m doing.”

But something felt wrong.
Projects were getting done… but not together.
Egos clashed. Ownership blurred.
And meetings started feeling like battles instead of brainstorming sessions.

Then one day, one of my interns — yes, the intern — said something I’ll never forget:

“Maybe we don’t need the smartest people. Maybe we need the right people.”

That hit me like a truck.
Because she was right.

Smart means nothing without alignment.
Talent means nothing without trust.
And skill means nothing without shared purpose.

So I stopped hiring “smart.”
And started hiring compatible.

Now my rule is simple:
👉 I don’t hire resumes.
I hire energy, ownership, and empathy.

Because when the team moves as one — intelligence becomes the byproduct.
