The Lie That Gets You In

You don't need another book filled with startup buzzwords and cherry-picked success stories. There are plenty of those. They're polished. They're inspiring. They're also misleading as hell.

This book is different.

It's about what actually happens when you try to build a company from scratch-without the filters, without the hustling slogans, and without pretending it's all part of "the journey" when what you're really feeling is panic, self-doubt, or straight-up burnout.

So here's the truth: Most people are sold a sanitized version of entrepreneurship. One that promises freedom, impact, and a big exit. But what actually happens? Most founders hit a wall hard. And because no one warned them-because they thought they were the only ones struggling-they quit. Or worse, they keep pushing until they burn out completely.

This book is here to tell the truth. To show you what it really means to go from idea to company. And maybe, just maybe, help you survive it with your sanity (and some clarity) intact.

If you're here to play startup dress-up, this book isn't for you.

If you're here to build something real-and you're okay with hearing the hard parts-This book is your companion throught out your journey.
