Startups are our babies, aren’t they?
Startups are our babies, aren’t they?
🐣We feel protective over them.
🐣We want them to succeed no matter what.
🐣 And we’re rarely the ones to admit that they’ve got faults.
When you’ve got so much passion for your business, it’s natural to consider it a personal extension of yourself.
But that mindset is mostly useless.
We should be thinking logically and strategically about our startups. With a ‘business brain’, not our ‘personal brain’.
Switching to this new mindset can be difficult for founders - especially if they’re already a few years in and feel very close to their project.
Strategic thinking requires practice and long-term commitment.
And ironically, taking a step back from your business could be the best thing for it.
