Grateful Startup Entrepreneurs Always Succeed

Grateful Startup Entrepreneurs Always Succeed

An attitude of gratitude means?making it a conscious habit to express thankfulness and appreciation.

Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive.?Those entrepreneurs who express gratitude regularly appear to have a more positive outlook on life. Gratitude makes?entrepreneurs connect better?and win the trust of others. It can help them sell better. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the world of entrepreneurship.

Many entrepreneurs are not appreciative despite being the beneficiary of an altruistic act. These startup entrepreneurs make themselves feel like perpetual victims, locked in a prison of their failures.

  • The pitch gets rejected, investors do not call back.
  • Unable to raise funding, finding it tough to bootstrap.
  • Not being able to hire the right people in the team, the offer gets turned down.

As an entrepreneur, they feel used, abused, rejected. They feel like they deserve to suffer. And they feel like they will never enjoy the success they dreamt of or desired. We all know entrepreneurs who have faced devastating adversity and challenge but have managed to persevere with gratitude and happiness. Thanklessness deprives entrepreneurs of the emotional rewards of gratitude.

Read the story of a thankful entrepreneur

The personality of a thankless entrepreneur.

  • Choosing to walk away from entrepreneurship when things don’t go smoothly
  • Blaming others for everything happening in their startup
  • Picking unnecessary fights with co-founders or investors, troll people online.
  • Self Sabotaging, wallows in self-pity

Ultimately, investors don’t really want to be around entrepreneurs who are constantly negative and looking at the glass half empty.?At 100X.VC we try to mentor, teach founders to always look at the glass half full and find the positive aspects in every situation, challenge, opportunity, and trial regardless of how fair or unfair the situation may seem. We help them with direction & confidence. Do successful entrepreneurs learn from their experience? Yes, they emerge stronger than before. The lessons, when truly taken to heart, can be life-changing. Negative visualization can help entrepreneurs develop a sense of gratitude in even the direst of situations. No matter whatever they are dealing with, things could be worse. Gratitude helps entrepreneurs get through these crazy moments. It allows them to acknowledge their challenges while still focusing on what they have accomplished so far in their startup journey.

Be grateful for the lessons that entrepreneurship teaches us, even the hard ones.

Case of Unlimited Mentoring

“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.” —?Tony Robbins?

Every unicorn startups success starts with unicorn founders. It is the team leader that makes it happen. The journey of each startup with unicorn status today at some time was at the idea stage. Every entrepreneur at the front of the line of life started at the back of the line. Note that in India today, the top five percent list of funded startups started in the bottom five percent. All who are now doing well were once doing poorly at some time.?

Grateful entrepreneurs have better relationships.

To choose gratitude?entrepreneurs needs to substantially show effort in practising this skill. It takes conscious effort to be grateful but just like any skill you acquire. Being grateful is an easy and positive way to counterbalance the many challenges that entrepreneurs face.

Cultivating gratitude is an invitation to re-frame our perspective. Not only that, startup founders who are grateful find it easier to reach the goals they set for themselves.?Goals are important for any startup.?Founders should make it a goal to express public appreciation to at least one person a day. It won't take long before they begin to see and experience the resulting goodness. Carpet bomb thank you.

.?“Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: It must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” —William Faulkner
