Dear Founder, as an entrepreneur, it’s useful to remind yourself that Business is just a Game.
Yes, you need to understand the rules and play by them, but that doesn’t mean that you need to internalize them.
You can choose to march to the dream of a different drummer, because your inner scorecard is far more valuable than what other people think of you.
That’s why you decided to strike out for yourself and choose your own path, right ?
Don’t let anyone else – competitors or investors – tell you what you should and should not be doing.
And if you do fail, at least you will have the pride of knowing you failed on your own terms.
If you won’t Dream the Impossible Dream, then who will ?
