Dinesh Kumar’s suggestion for new founders
If I had to teach a new founder one lesson, I wouldn’t start
with strategy first.
Instead, I’d start with rejection says Dinesh Kumar
Chandigarh Minterminds’s founder.
The first few months of building Minterminds taught me something that no
book or course ever could.
Everyone sees the exciting parts when you start a company.
The idea, the website, the first client, and the vision. But nobody sees what
happens before all of this.
The unanswered messages, the calls that never returned, and the meetings that
end with “We’ll think about it.”
Every call feels important when you start.
You prepare and talk about the value you can bring to all to hear silence at
the end of the call.
It hits you, and you start doubting yourself, whether you made the right
decision or not.
But things change after some time.
You start to realize that all this is a part of the process.
You get to understand that building a company doesn’t mean avoiding rejection
but becoming comfortable with it.
Because once you stop fearing the “No”, you start hearing the “yes” that
changes everything.
And this is what the real training of a founder looks like.
