A lot of entrepreneurs find it difficult to balance their work and personal lives. How have you found that?
Long working hours: Entrepreneurs often have to put in long hours to get their business off the ground and keep it running.
This can make it difficult to find time for personal pursuits or family and friends. Lack of boundaries: Entrepreneurs may find it difficult to set boundaries between their work and personal lives, leading to work encroaching on personal time.

How have you found sales so far? Do you have any lessons you could pass on to other founders in the same market as you just starting out?
Sales is a slow process. It takes time for the actual conversion. First, you need to bring the potential customer to your door. You need to first show what’s on the plate and then finally try to sell the best thing from the plate which is suitable for them.
In short, you should have a great website that is different from your competitors. Then you need to bring relevant traffic to your website. It can be done from SEO or paid ads.
What is the biggest challenge you have faced so far in your business, and how did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge in the market is to generate leads. You will get a lot of one-time projects. But your focus should be on the retainer account, the client who can be with you for the next 1 year. You have to focus on networking through LinkedIn.
