What is economic sanctions and how do they work


2 Answers

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier. Everything you will read about economic will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 9 years of working with sanctions has actually taught me. The most common trap is spending too long on research instead of doing. What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to building one real thing instead of more tutorials. After that, things started moving much faster. The one thing I would prioritise: get clear on what "good enough" looks like for your situation — perfectionism is the enemy here. The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
