Break the Cycle of Self-Doubt
Self-denigration among founders often creates a vicious cycle of isolation and a reluctance to accept praise. This occurs as founders compare themselves to others whom they perceive as superior, leading to feelings of unworthiness. To counteract this thinking loop, founders should challenge their assumptions, recognizing that these beliefs may be unfounded and not reflective of reality. Emphasizing a philosophy of 'pull' rather than 'push' may also be beneficial, allowing for self-encouragement and healthier self-perception, which can help in finding a way out of the debilitating loop.
