#EntrepreneurshipStruggles: Have you ever been called a pessimist for advising a friend to not get too excited about their new business until they see real results? 🧐 Despite having experienced failed businesses in the past, I believe in staying cautious until success is truly achieved. Do you think this makes me a pessimist, or just a realist? Share your thoughts and experiences below! #RealisticEntrepreneurship #StayHumbleUntilSuccess #BusinessMindset 👩💼🚀📉
You’re both right. He’s too excited, you’re too pessimistic.
The correct response to ‘we’re making money that we can’t use yet’ isn’t throwing a party, it’s also not ‘nah, shit ain’t real mate’. The correct response is saying ‘yea we’re doing good eh, just gotta keep working on it’ and then maybe celebrating with like, a beer, or something. It’s worth being happy about, it’s not worth messaging all your highschool bullies to tell them they were wrong.
Nice middle ground.
I know both sides of this coin.
You need each other.
You can word it differently to still uplift him. How you say it brings him down and that’s not what a co-partner should do. It’s also good to celebrate the small wins and that’s what your friend is doing. You should as well.
let him grow. no need for you to do that for him
You’re a realist. Experience keeps you grounded. I think it’s a good thing.
What kind of business are you doing
