To be a good leader, you can't be concerned with being liked.

You have to do what's necessary for the group's benefit, survival, and progress.

You have to be tough on people but empathetic when it's necessary.

You have to mentor those who work for you, but you must also be in a state of constant learning to ensure your progress.

You have to be able to make the hard decisions and bear the weight of any subsequent consequences.

You must be honest and transparent, even if that hurts people's feelings.

You have dreams.

You have visions for the future.

You have goals.

But why?

My story so far is different from the one you might expect.

The internet is overflowing with stories of entrepreneurs telling stories about how they went from nothing to something.

Many of them make it sound easy like anyone can do it.

But the truth is that most entrepreneurs...

When I look back on this post years from now I want to be able to say Ambio is keeping its promise, that it’s building genuinely powerful business solutions that drive efficiency, empower growth, and foster innovation.

‘Powerful’ because a strong technical infrastructure and beautiful user interface are essential to a good customer experience.

‘Drive Efficiency’ because optimising business operations to achieve the highest possible output is half the battle.

I’ve always wanted to start a blog, but could never justify its existence. Would people read it? Am I a good enough writer? Do I actually have anything worth sharing? Would I be taking attention away from other projects important to me?

These are questions that are yet to be answered.

At times, I’m too conservative when it comes to sharing my work. Like a lot of us, I don’t want to put anything out there until it’s ‘perfect’, but there’s no such thing perfect, only better than yesterday.
