It’s natural for anyone to seek advice from people who we think know more than we do but it doesn’t necessarily mean that what they know is beneficial for Founders.

As a Founder, every single word, phrase, and statement you utter has consequences. When you speak, make sure you’re ready for the pros and cons, and eventually, how it will affect your Startup.

What happens when funding is scarce? In the world of Startups and the struggles of keeping your business running, the fight is for you not to win. It’s more of a fight for you not to lose!

Expanding is exciting, but every step we make toward growth is also a liability that we need to be aware of (and prepared for).

There always comes a time when we need to part ways with people. Every bad "breakup" can seriously damage our reputation. So, what can we do then to avoid that?
