One of the toughest parts of being a founder is putting your ideas into the world, seeing if anyone cares (usually they don't - or worse, are rooting against you), and then seeing if you can actually pull it off (usually way more setbacks along the way than you thought!).
You have to:
(1) develop thick skin and find a way to ignore the haters
(2) still take advice from people who have your best interests at heart
(3) have the wisdom to know the difference
Then move from one setback to the next with no loss of enthusiasm for longer than you thought. Be borderline delusional, get after it every day for a decade, and turn out to be right. Finally, when your tenth or hundredth approach to a problem doesn't work, just keep coming up with more ideas.
Had a great day at Base Batches yesterday, meeting founders building on @base and hearing about the latest onchain innovations. Shout out to all the founders!
