NOTE

Surround Yourself with Enthusiastic Advocates

Success in the early stages of a business requires surrounding oneself with positive, enthusiastic supporters rather than skeptics or devil's advocates. In the formative phase, having people question everything can drain a founder's energy and enthusiasm, leading to a loss of momentum. Founders should prioritize relationships with individuals who amplify their excitement and vision instead of those who bring negativity or doubt. While experienced leaders may benefit from a mix of advocates and critics once their business is stable, in the beginning, fostering a positive environment is crucial to driving success. Ultimately, while pessimists may be correct in their outlook, optimists are the ones who achieve wealth and create thriving enterprises.
