You're getting in the way of your success because you’re married to your own ideas. And the longer you do so, the less room you leave for disruption. Every founder NEEDS a guide/mentor. Here's why: A) Entrepreneurship is no bed of roses, and you need someone who can give you the real picture B) You will constantly need to make tough decisions for the very survival of your startup Why go through that all alone? A mentor, who may be a board member or an industry expert, can help you make a more informed decision. As a founder, there is also immense merit in accepting sunk costs and moving on. And you need an unbiased, objective set of eyes to do so. In Episode 073, Zach Coelius, GP at Coelius Capital, insinuates the need for solo founders to seek necessary advice and reject the sunk cost fallacy.

When I launched Dan Gordon Enterprise, it was all about venturing into uncharted territory. I committed to doing things differently, embracing uncertainty head-on. This journey isn't just about business; it's about learning to detach from the opinions of others. Many question, "Who do you think you are?" I hear it often.
