Carmen Salameh discusses the ongoing challenges of being a founder, including time management, responsibility, and the expectations placed on entrepreneurs.
I thought some things would get easier with time but they didn’t so I just learned to live with them. This is Part 2 of this personal solo episode of Asian Business Owners. I continue sharing what I still find difficult as a founder, what the reality behind running a business is.
