Startup Therapy Podcast

Despite the onslaught of negativities and 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 Co-Founder 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.
