Wherever you may be, you’ll always meet another founder. Surprisingly, your Startup is helping you build these connections, a space where you can meet and create relationships with people who share the same experience as you and probably have similar views as well.

Oftentimes, Founders are stuck in the idea that they need to add more features to make their product appealing and saleable. Instead, our focus should be on making sure that we’re doing the core product right — and nothing else matters.

Years ago, when a business needed to expand, they often moved to a big city, brought key employees in, and raised funding to cope with a much higher cost of living. But times have changed.

Despite the onslaught of negativities, failures, and success seemingly slipping away, when a Founder remains optimistic, they can always redirect focus on what to do next.

It’s no surprise that most of the successful Startups today started off as a completely bad idea. As it turns out, given the right circumstances, the dumbest idea can become the most profitable company.

We worked for it, sacrificed our health and time, and at some point, even settled for less compensation for the company to grow. Still, Founders can't flaunt the money we make because some people find it appalling just because they don’t have it.

You can’t simply assume that you’ll still be compensated for the equity without continuously providing value to the company’s growth. It’s a simplified Math problem. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid.

Everything you do has implications and if you let instigators of negativity be, you’re allowing a nasty culture to spread.

Likened to marriage, having a cofounder requires a commitment that comes with consequences when and if the Startup fails — and coming up with an action plan when the business turns out to be a total flop.

Instead of going full force too fast early on, take the time to understand whether the bets you’re paying back or not and when it’s time to change direction.
