NWV Brief #15: the lies we want to believe

Dear Founder,

Sometimes, believing a lie is easier than accepting the truth. Some founder favorites are listed below. 

• "I’ll be happy when I achieve [X]."

• "If I just work harder, everything will fall into place."

• "Everyone else has it figured out."

• "I can do it all myself."

• "Scaling solves all problems."

• "The product will sell itself."

• "Failure is not an option."

• "I have to be available 24/7 to succeed."

• "Success will fix my personal life."

• "I’m too late to the game."

• "I need to please everyone to win."

• "I should already know how to do this."

• "The big win is just around the corner."

• "If I stop, everything will fall apart."

• "I have to sacrifice everything to succeed."

What lies have you been telling yourself? How are they holding you back? 

With purpose, vision, & appreciation,

Brooke
