The right kind of stubborn is like, I'm going to figure this out and I'm going to be persistent with it.

So the idea is to find out which kind of founder are you?

Where's your blind spot?

You know, what's your weakness?

Is your weakness that you give up and you're just not persistent at all?

Well, that's a problem.

Is your weakness that you are obstinate and that you're blind?

rudder can't be turned, that the initial idea of how you want to do something doesn't change with new information, with new data, or with conversations with experienced and knowledgeable founders.

I have worked with or seen founders in a group of very knowledgeable and successful entrepreneurs.

And I've seen some founders ask for advice, and then ignore all the advice from all the other founders.

And they act like they want advice, and they really don't.

And it's a problem.

It's a problem.

And it's not just a problem because it pisses everybody off.

These founders almost never succeed.

Or if they do, it's because they got lucky and stumbled upon that very first idea that happened to be right.

And that's just unlikely to happen.

So the reason I'm bringing this up is look at yourself.

Like, give yourself a good look in the mirror.

Take a personality test or two.
