We all start at cope:
“I can’t build a business.”
The fear is real.
The doubt is loud.
And the comfort of staying where we are feels safer than trying and failing.
Then comes curiosity:
“Why can’t I build a business?”
What’s really stopping me?
Is it lack of resources?
Lack of support?
Or just the stories I keep telling myself?
And finally, conviction:
“Screw it — I’ll figure it out.”
That’s where everything changes.
Not because you suddenly have all the answers.
But because you’ve decided you’re done waiting for perfect conditions.
You’re ready to learn, to try, to fail, and to build anyway.
This shift — from cope to curiosity to conviction — is the real startup journey.
It doesn’t happen overnight.
But it’s the mindset that turns ideas into action, and dreams into reality.
You don’t need to know everything.
You just need to start moving.
