"My never-ending anxiety is awesome!" said no Founder, ever. We feel on edge most of the time from this sense of urgency to get one thing done right after another. But here's a secret: it can benefit our mental health if we just let things take their course.

In the Startups community, many Founders expect immediate returns and instant success. The truth is, outside of the community, it takes several years (decades even!) to reach significant growth in returns.

When you focus your attention on something that has not happened yet it will create anxiety that will hinder everything. Stop worrying about the things that didn’t happen and start planning based on what’s happening now.

Sometimes in order for the company to grow, we have to shrink first.

Let's talk about putting a freeze on your resources when returns take a downturn. You can definitely weather the storm when you understand where to find the opportunities unwanted downturn provides.

Just because we're a startup doesn't mean we are entitled to profit or growth — so what do we focus on when we really want both?

There is a lot to think about before raising money. If we weigh out all the possibilities, we can be confident in choosing that path for our company.

If our startup has stalled, that doesn't mean we’ve given up on it, it just means we have to figure out where it best fits in our lives.

As your business grows, everything changes. All things evolve, and skills must upgrade. This includes everyone in the entire organization.

In our early years, when we fail to succeed in growing our Startup, it’s okay. We can always start again. When we’re already in our mid-40s and 50s (or older), screwing up comes at a high price, and a restart may no longer be possible.
