One of the biggest lessons from entrepreneurs is that the path is rarely straight. We want it to be simple: start here, go there, win big. But in reality, it’s a zigzag. You launch an idea and it flops. A side hustle takes off when you least expect it. You pour effort into something that should be the breakthrough, but it stalls. Then the thing you never planned becomes the stepping stone to the next level.
That’s how building works. Block by block. Some crumble. Some hold. Each one moves you closer to where you’re meant to go. Too many people quit when the road bends, thinking a detour means failure. In truth, the detour is the path.
The win is in refusing to stop when the direction shifts. If you’re in the zigzag now, remember: every step matters.
Keep building.
