The Shrink for Entrepreneurs

DECEMBER 16, 2015

If you flub the annual pause for intelligent reflection, you’ll enable an insidious tendency to discount your own achievements and successes – minimizing or forgetting them – that’ll simply vaporize your self esteem. The cost of missing that last part is tremendous: You’ll keep making the same mistakes without learning.

Especially when you’re inexperienced, self-esteem issues come into play – having people you respect say that you’re doing something right. Zero marginal cost products will approach zero in price over time. Ebooks aren’t a zero marginal cost product. Walking your own path takes a lot of guts.
