I struggle with pivots, even small ones. But I always remind myself that being able to iterate from feedback is one of the biggest advantages startups have over larger corporations.
For years I’ve been obsessed with ensuring as many people as possible “like me”, a people pleaser.
Speaking to mentor today:
“Your biggest problem, this is a flawed mindset. You don’t need everyone to love you.
Just a few good people.”
Real relationships that’s all this is
Show me a fancy resume and I feel nothing.
Show me who else is investing and I see lemmings jumping off a cliff.
Show me a big unaddressed problem and I am listening.
Show me the solution you’ve built and I lean in.
Show me the team of true believers you built and I invest.
