I had an enjoyable long chat with Arthur Wang, founder of Fud, Inc., yesterday. I asked him, "What have been the biggest challenges or lessons learned for you personally as a founder of Fud?" One of the best pieces of advice from him for founders is: 1. It takes twice as long and money as expected - Be prepared to invest significant time and funds - Have contingency plans for extended timelines 2. Perseverance and grit are essential - There will be brutal days that test your resilience - Stay focused on your vision to push through 3. Develop a thick skin - Rejection and ego hits are inevitable - Maintain self-belief and don't take failures personally (links are in the comment) #entrepreneurship #startups #founderlessons #leadership #venturecapital Scott Hartley
