Three ways you should never let anyone treat you as an Entrepreneur
Everything is fair in love, war, and startups, right?!
Wrong. No, not everything is fair.
There are some things I demand as an immigrant entrepreneur trying to change the way the current systems think about mental health. These are some things that I won’t sacrifice no matter what —
Not an equal seat at the table
If people are sitting while I am standing, it’s not respect. I am building something. Period. That is enough. I got to be true to what am building, to my customers. If that does not get your respect, then your table is not worth sitting on. To hell with your table.
Discrimination
If you are going to hint at my gender, race, family background, lack of money, whatever, based on your skewed idea of superiority — I won’t hate you. Because you are too stupid for my intelligence to be obsessed about. I am going to treat you like the crap of a dog in the middle of the road — with disgust and the immediate need to get away from your stench.
Calling me Emotional
I am an entrepreneur. As a breed, I am emotional. I am putting everything I got on the line for what I am building. I will be weird. Eccentric at times. In fact, I have to be emotional. Good ideas are not obvious. Otherwise, everyone will do it. I have to be able to notice the tiniest emotions inside myself to act on them. If you don’t understand that, you don’t get to be part of what am building.
