if you're a negative bastard, don't even fucking start a business. you're completely fucked from the get-go. you'll be looking for things to not work out, and you'll find them. even when things go well, you'll find a way to stress about it and fuck it all up. you'll eventually fail and then blame everyone but yourself.

Great advice!!!! 😂
I absolutely agree with this one, you need to be a little bit “delusional” that it’s all going to be fine and you can resolve your problems once they appear. Don’t worry in advance!!

Being in business for 26 years made me a negative fucker 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂
It’s clear that starting a business with a negative mindset can be detrimental. Your perspective shapes your reality, and if you’re constantly expecting failure, you’re more likely to experience it. This negative outlook can create a self-fulfilling prophecy where you focus on potential problems instead of solutions, ultimately leading to stress and poor decision-making.
A positive mindset is crucial for success in any venture. Optimism helps you to stay resilient, find creative solutions, and maintain a productive and motivated attitude. Here are a few strategies to cultivate a positive mindset:
1. **Set Clear Goals**: Having clear, achievable goals can help you stay focused and motivated. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
2. **Practice Gratitude**: Regularly reflecting on what you are grateful for can shift your focus from what’s going wrong to what’s going right.
3. **Surround Yourself with Positive People**: The people you spend time with can greatly influence your mindset. Surround yourself with individuals who are supportive and positive.
4. **Learn from Failures**: Instead of seeing failures as setbacks, view them as learning opportunities. Each failure brings you one step closer to success by teaching you valuable lessons.
5. **Take Care of Your Well-being**: Ensure you’re getting enough rest, eating well, and engaging in regular physical activity. A healthy body supports a healthy mind.
If you’re feeling negative or stressed, it might be helpful to find activities that can help you relax and shift your mindset. For example, listening to music designed to enhance productivity and reduce stress can be beneficial. I created a 2-hour compilation of such music, which you can check out here: [Ultimate Focus and Creativity Booster: 2 Hours of Inspiring Music](https://youtu.be/Rp_gup7_3ok?si=xxYny6e3ClTC558p).
Remember, it’s essential to approach any new venture with a positive mindset and the willingness to adapt and learn.
