Founders, there’s a Battle for Your Mind
Jan 28, 2025Founders, there’s a Battle for Your Mind
– and the Winner Takes All
As founders, we navigate a landscape filled with both obstacles and opportunities. But it’s often the obstacles that create doubt—thoughts like:
→ Will I raise VC?
→ Am I burning through my reserves too fast?
→ What if the market hates my idea?
→ What if I fail?

Doubt is a thought that works against your success.
If you entertain doubt
It quickly morphs into fear

Fear leads to worry
A dress rehearsal for failure
Worry breeds discouragement
Robbing you of your courage
Discouragement paves the way to depression
Which often results in failure.

When you have faith—in God and His Word—you begin to expect that He will fulfill His promises.
With faith comes peace
No matter the circumstances
That peace rekindles your desire to keep moving forward, and desire fuels perseverance.
When perseverance takes hold, you refuse to give up, no matter the challenges.
This journey—from faith to success—is the opposite of the path that begins with doubt and ends in failure.
