As a startup founder, I constantly faced setbacks, and it's crucial to understand that these challenges will keep happening over and over again.

It's important to develop skills to identify when something bad happens, as setbacks are a natural part of being a startup founder, just like the sun rising and setting.

Startups are challenging, and founders must develop resilience to withstand public scrutiny and criticism while navigating their entrepreneurial journey.

Despite receiving negative feedback daily, I want you to believe that it's possible to overcome all challenges in the entrepreneurial journey. Starting a startup is an optimistic act that requires a commitment to make the time investment and work until the work is done.

Everyone you respect in the startup world has dealt with significant setbacks, so remember that you're not alone in facing these challenges.

All startups face internal challenges, and it's normal to feel like things are broken; persistence is key to overcoming these issues.

Many founders mistakenly think that after a successful launch, their journey will be smooth sailing, but the reality is that setbacks are a constant in the startup world.

Your reaction to setbacks influences how your co-founders and employees respond to challenges, making it crucial to model a positive response.

As companies grow, founders may face increased scrutiny and criticism. It's important to prepare for this shift in perception and manage the emotional impact it can have.
