5Things That Kill Startups
Optimism to an extent is good, but extreme optimism is not advisable. The main disadvantage with an optimist is that he only sees the light at the end of the tunnel and fails to see the darkness in the tunnel. Light is there, but you should not ignore the darkness. In a startup scenario, an optimist tends not to see the risks that can possibly come and as a result will be unprepared for that. So, try to be a realist, who understand that even though there is a huge opportunity present, risks are also there and it is important not to lose focus and stay on track.
