594: (Solo) The Mindset Lessons I’ve Learned From 100+ Founders
About this episode
Most founders obsess over tactics, hacks, and strategies. But the truth? None of it matters if you don’t have the right mindset.
In this episode, I share the mental frameworks I’ve learned after a decade of building Foundr and interviewing 100+ of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs.
From why 50% of success comes down to belief, to how to reframe failure as data, these are the mindset shifts that will keep you in the game long enough to win.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• Why every founder needs to think in decades but act in days• How to stop comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20• The simple shifts that turn fear and failure into growth
If you’re feeling impatient, doubting yourself, or wondering why success is taking so long, this episode will give you the perspective and tools to reset, refocus, and keep building.
This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at [email protected] — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
