You can’t buy experience

There are many experienced entrepreneurs who have โ€œbeen there, done thatโ€ and can lend valuable support. Other entrepreneurs also understand the natural insecurities that can take over, especially in the early chaos of launching your business. We are not insulting the uniqueness of your business.
No one is questioning the dedication it takes. However, when it comes to accessing much needed resources and direction, defending your โ€œdifferenceโ€ is not only incorrect, it is not in the best interest of your company.

“We WILL be there with you every step of the way.”ย 

Strategies to Shift this Perspective

  • Advice from Others. You will start to see advice in a di๏ฌ€erent light. You may still be thinking: โ€œThat advice makes sense for most businesses, but our problems are unique, di๏ฌ€erent.โ€ But if you stop and take notice, youโ€™ll see far more similarity than di๏ฌ€erence in the problems youโ€™re facing. Take advantage of that shared knowledge. It enables targeted support and advice from other entrepreneurs who have been in the same trenches as you. You welcome advice and can take advantage of the wisdom of others.
  • Benefit from Experience. Others have been exactly where you are now, and where you will be in two weeks, worried about an upcoming investor meeting. Let their experience help you prep for the unknowns youโ€™re facing. It will save you valuable time and energy that you can put toward keeping your product and vision unique rather than wasting time defending your experience as unique.
  • No More Bunker Mentality. When you understand that you are part of a community with shared experiences, it changes your point of view from a bunker mentality to, โ€œHow can I interact with and learn from others who have these experiences?โ€ It helps you get you out of your bunker and into the light.
