3 Game-Changing Lessons to Build a Better Business

Share this article:

Building a business is hard. Here are 3 lessons I learned that’ll save you time and money:

1. Instead of a white lie, tell the white truth.

Honesty matters. A little discomfort up front can save you a lot of pain later.

2. Good designers borrow. Great artists steal.

Don’t just copy. Learn from the best, make it better, and make it yours.

3. Build a team that helps you level up.

The right team doesn’t just get things done—they push you to grow. If they’re not moving you forward, they’re holding you back.

Bonus: When it gets tough, refocus.

Step away, clear your mind, and get back in the game. Real progress comes from knowing when to pause, reset, and try again.

The receipt is partially curled as it exits the machine, suggesting a recent transaction. The focus on the receipt and the printer emphasizes the completion of a sale, which is often confused with an invoice that instead requests payment. Receipt-AI works with both receipts and invoices to extract information, rename the files, and upload them to your accounting software, such as Xero or QuickBooks.
