The key psychological traits of startup founders. 🧠 (My 5 key findings as a psychiatrist working with hundreds of global startup founders). 1️⃣ Calculated Decision-Making - Despite appearing fearless, successful entrepreneurs are often adept at calculated decision-making. They assess risks carefully, weigh potential rewards against possible downsides, and take informed actions. 2️⃣ Comfort with Uncertainty - Embracing uncertainty is crucial for risk-taking. Entrepreneurs who thrive in ambiguous situations are comfortable making decisions without having all the answers. 3️⃣ Self-Efficacy - Believing in their own abilities is critical for entrepreneurs. Those with high self-efficacy trust that they can influence the outcome of their actions and navigate risks successfully. 4️⃣ Resilience - Successful entrepreneurs typically display high levels of resilience. They can bounce back from setbacks and failures, viewing them as opportunities to learn and grow rather than insurmountable obstacles. 5️⃣ Optimism - A strong sense of optimism is common in risk-takers. They tend to focus on potential positive outcomes rather than the fear of failure. Are you a startup founder who recognises these traits in yourself?
