Some of us are not happy with whatever we have got. We thrive in panic. If everything is going normal in our life, we will get worried. It is more like living in a boiling pot and live life as long as being roasted. People who suffer most from such people are their loved ones, …

perception
In the end, it is your customer who will define the value of your product. Those marketing and PR can get your sales, licensing done only for a limited period. As a founder, you must be having a great vision, roadmap, and expectation. But if a customer fails to get those rewards from it, their …
little things
Founders life is different from media or news channels fundraising announcements. 90% of startups fail. No one cares about those founders. The founder’s life is about dealing with rejections gracefully.A teammate will fight and leave.A customer demo will go haywire.An investor will tell you all the wrong things you are building.
