Just being consistently optimistic and having a positive outlook is 90% of the battle when building a startup. The kind where everything’s on fire and you still say “we're just getting started”. Because most founders lose because they burn out, stop believing, and stop giving it their all. You’ll launch things nobody cares about. You’ll have customers cancel and churn. You'll lose deals you thought were a for sure thing. You'll have days where you just aren't feeling it. You'll go months without feeling any big wins. So if you don’t have some level of irrational belief in what you’re building you probably won’t make it. The odds are just too stacked against you as a founder. Optimism and the ability to see reasons to be positive when everything is going wrong is a mandatory requirement of building startups. Keep going and keep building.

Building a startup takes years. Most people don’t have that kind of patience. Go longer than they can.

Building a startup isn’t easy. Takes longer than you think. Takes more mistakes than you want. Takes more grit than you ever expected. Keep learning, keep adapting, and keep going, you’ll get there. Just don’t stop.

Feel like your startup is failing? Focus on small wins: - Find one happy customer - Reach $10K revenue - First profitable month - Grow by 5% Small goals can help. Just keep going.

The game is changing - 38% of startups are bootstrapped by solo founders.

I’ve been doing this entrepreneur thing for a hot minute now. At some point in the journey, you realize that things will naturally go wrong every now and then (or even often), but you learn how to solve problems and move on. It doesn’t matter if you run out of money, lose a client, lose a deal, lose a co-founder, get sued, or worse. The truth is, it’s all part of the journey. The key is to overcome each obstacle, almost always through sheer resilience and grit. The only way you fail is if you quit.

If you like learning on the job... You’re going to absolutely love being a startup founder. Everyday there's something new to learn. New problem to figure out. New fire to put out. One of the most rewarding jobs you can have if you can handle it.

As the 2024 gradually comes to an end, as an enterpreneur, it has been an eventful year with wins, losses and a lot of lessons learnt. Going into 2025, will like to share more about this journey with people! #impact

Write down your startup's top 1-3 priorities. On a giant white board. And only focus on making progress there. Everything else is just a distraction.

Can't wait for this election to be over and done. Tired of seeing all the political posts!

Building a startup requires a lot of determination more than anything else!

To build a startup you don't need to be an expert at anything. Just need tons of grit and the ability to learn quickly.

Lol :) 😀
