One of the best things about starting a company is that you become resilient and patient. I am one of the most impatient people I’ve ever come across (which begs the question, does one actually come across oneself? but I digress).
Last night I met some fellow entrepreneurs and I told them that when you manage a startup and high-growth company, there are really only two things to remember:
If you wake up in the morning and are greeted with bad news, don’t worry too much because you’re bound to get worst news later on in the day…
And if ever you are greeted with some good news, enjoy it cause it won’t last, something is bound to go awry…
If you remember these two tenets of startups, then you will be amazed at how much success you can have because you don’t sweat the small negative stuff and you don’t let the good stuff get to your head.
