So Feras, people have some questions for you. All right. What was the biggest mistake you made when first starting your business?
Made a lot of mistakes. As you can tell, this gray hair is from all these mistakes. But I would say the number one mistake that I made is that I didn't seek the help of advisors early on. When you start a business, there's so many things to do. You have to learn sales, marketing. You have to know how to deliver the service. But if you seek the help of those who have been to where you want to go, those who have gone through the challenges that you're about to go through. It's not going to make your life easy, it'll just make it easier so you can get your 6 figures, your 7 figures, your 8 figures faster with less pain and with less effort.
