018: Certainty is a LIE‪!‬ FlossBites: Behind the Scenes of FlossNYC

    • Wirtschaft

Certainty is something we're all looking for. But the truth is - it DOES NOT EXIST. It's just a lie we tell ourselves based on prior experiences. For future situations, we can NEVER be certain. That's what makes being an entrepreneur so scary. And things that are scary can paralyze you from learning more and realizing real opportunity.

Once you see how ownership allows you to pull levers and affect real change, it's intoxicating. But you don't have to go ALL IN. You can dip your toe in and start learning piece by piece. This helps ease you into being comfortable with risk and uncertainty. And that's when you win.
