Nope, this isn’t about love. This is about developing unhealthy relationships with family, friends, and anyone within your social circle because your toxic work life is making everything else toxic.

Most people focus on hiring more people, settling in a bigger office, or getting additional funding as a form of success. But for most Founders, at the early stages of their business, it’s all about taking away liabilities one at a time.

At the early stages of a startup, Founders often seek to partner with a co-founder in the hopes of growing the company. But what Founders don’t realize is that it may be too early to look for a partner, or even too risky.

The biggest fear Founders have is what happens to the business when they take a much needed break. But guess what? With the right people in place, more than half of a Founder’s work can be done by someone else.

Having a strong conviction that what we’re building will lead to success mixed with a strong sense of positivity and optimism can often feel like being dishonest if we haven't actually achieved anything — but honesty and optimism don't have to be a competing moral quandary.

The adrenaline to overexert and overwork yourself so you can get more things done is a hustle that no founder should be investing into. Here’s why.

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.

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.

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.
