Feel Good First and Then Your Startup Succeeds
I read this tweet by Daniel today.
I think we all observe this in our lives, more or less. We always try to plan our future, but looking back, it never went as we planned.
And so, when we agree that we can't plan our life long-term, how can we create a good future for ourselves?
The answer in the startup community has been to work hard and push through. But when Twitter asks Daniel how did he determine whether his current path was right for him, he answers:
"Mostly gut feeling. A combination of: motivation, lack of anxiety, excitement, minimal procrastination, etc."
He didn't say struggle, hustle, and think constantly how to succeed. Daniel's answer felt more like: take it easy and have fun, trust that it will work out just fine.
So, doesn't this mean that if you want to succeed with your startup you should make feeling good your first priority? Only then can you feel the excitement and be motivated to work on your product.
