Founders, Not All Problems Are Apocalyptic

In today's Startup Therapy Podcast, Wil and Ryan discuss how all problems are not the end of the world for founders. While running a startup can be challenging and bring various obstacles, not every problem leads to failure or signifies the end. Startup founders often encounter a range of difficulties, including financial setbacks, operational hurdles, or competition. However, with resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills, founders can navigate these challenges, learn from them, and continue to grow their businesses. It's important for founders to maintain a positive mindset, seek support from mentors and networks, and view problems as opportunities for growth and improvement.Sign up for the Startups Newsletterhttps://www.startups.com/newsletterResources:Startup Therapy Podcast https://www.startups.com/beginJoin our Network of Top Founders Check in with us on LinkedIn | Wil Schroter | Ryan RutanWhat to Listen For00:00 Intro00:38 Not all problems are apocalyptic03:12 Startup problem vs. True “end of the world” problem11:33 Externalizing the problem normalizes it12:34 Why categorize your problems by levels?15:53 Don’t overprioritize one problem and ignore the others16:53 Stop making everything a level 1020:40 You will never run out of problems27:30 Time will come problems won’t even faze you
