If one thing I would say is,
We love founders that are brutally honest and not trying to blow smoke and just trying to make something look better than it is.
And that brutally honest, transparent, like, hey, this is where we are.
This is where it's at.
Like, there's a value in that for yourself and for the investor.
So doing that with your inner circle and being like, honestly, hey, this is really compelling or not.
Be honest about where the opportunities and the challenges are.
And if it really isn't, you're just like, wow, there's a big hole in my argument, in my pitch.
If this is not a compelling pitch to my inner circle, if there's a big hole here because I did this postmortem and played devil's advocate, maybe you got to step back and be like, okay, I got to solve for that hole first before I can go try to pitch investors to put money into something that might be a sinking ship.
And they're going to see the hole too.
They're going to see it.
Yeah, I actually want to build on that because you reminded me of Ray Dalio's book Principles.
And he highlights this concept of every time something goes wrong, you feel pain.
A lot of people feel pain.
Some people feel shame.
Shame is not actually a helpful emotion.
But the pain, you feel it.
for a variety of reasons.
That is a huge opportunity to learn.
Lean into that and be curious.
