LAS VEGAS, NV - You Don’t Need a Perfect Plan - Just the Courage to Start

I never set out to become an author. But after two decades of building companies, mentoring founders, investing in startups, and navigating the unpredictable highs and lows of entrepreneurship, I realized there was something missing in the startup conversation.

 

We celebrate big wins and sleek pitches. We admire visionary unicorns and billion-dollar valuations. But we rarely talk about what it really takes to build something meaningful, especially when you don’t have perfect conditions, endless funding, or the right last name.

 

So I wrote Grow Into It, a book for the rest of us.

This is the book I wish I had when I was starting out. It’s the manual I needed when the roadmap didn’t exist. And it’s the message I now share with every founder I meet:

You don’t need a perfect plan.

You need the courage to move forward anyway.

 

Why I Wrote This Book

Years ago, my dad and I started a med-tech company in Poland. We had one product, a tiny budget, no outside investors, and a lot of stubborn belief. We didn’t move fast, we moved forward. Step by step, mistake by mistake. That company now operates in more than 110 countries.

 

Since then, I’ve founded multiple ventures, helped scale international businesses, and mentored entrepreneurs from across Europe, Asia, and the U.S. And through all of it, one truth stands out:

The best founders aren’t the ones with all the answers—they’re the ones willing to build while figuring things out.

 

Who This Book Is For

Grow Into It is for people in the arena, the entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers who are growing something from the ground up.

Whether you’re:

• Just launching and unsure what to do next

• Scaling with limited resources and lots of pressure

• Pivoting after a setback or tough season

• Trying to align growth with your values and purpose

…this book meets you where you are. It’s not about chasing shortcuts. It’s about building with intention, integrity, and long-term resilience.

 

What’s Inside

Each chapter is built around real-world lessons, not abstract theories. I share personal stories, hard-won insights, practical frameworks, and case studies from ventures I’ve led, supported or read about. The structure is designed to help you grow, personally and professionally, through each stage of the entrepreneurial journey.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn:

• How to validate your business idea with minimal resources

• How to manage cash flow when every dollar matters

• How to attract customers without burning money on ads

• How to build a team and culture on a budget

• How to know when to seek funding and how to do it strategically

• How to scale your company without losing your soul

• How to stay ahead of trends while staying true to your mission

• How to turn setbacks into fuel and use failure as feedback

• How to balance short-term execution with long-term vision

 

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this book, you won’t just have a list of tools, you’ll have a new mindset. One that embraces iteration over perfection, values resilience over reputation, and defines success not by where you started, but by how far you’ve grown.

 

You’ll also gain:

• A framework for making smart moves with limited resources

• Mental models for navigating uncertainty and ambiguity

• Tools to help you build a company that lasts, not just one that launches

• Confidence that you’re not behind—you’re just building in real time, like the rest of us

 

An Invitation

If you’re someone who’s building, leading, or dreaming of starting something, and you’re doing it without shortcuts, this book is for you.

 

I hope it helps you feel less alone. I hope it gives you a clear path forward. And most of all, I hope it reminds you that growth is never about having it all figured out.

It’s about showing up, staying in the game, and continuing to grow into it.
