Embracing Naivety as a Business Owner: Why You Need It More Than You Think
Description
A bit of naivety might be the reason you became an entrepreneur and the reason you’ve kept going.
In today’s solo episode, I explore why I needed a certain naive spirit to jump into the unknown, take risks, build something from scratch and keep moving when everything feels uncertain.
I share the realities I didn’t know when I started: the pressure, the mental load, the instability, the silent phases where nothing moves. And how naivety helped me see things with fresh eyes, stay connected to my vision and push through the hardest chapters of entrepreneurship.
You’ll hear about:
- What naivety looks like as a founder
- How naivety keeps you going when results are invisible
- Balancing naive belief with real strategy and discernment
You might need a little more naivety than you think.
