Sounds unbelievable, right? But thatโs exactly what Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, the founders of Snapchat, did. In 2012, Snapchat was still in its early days. Everyone said it was a โfadโ and would soon fade away. Even their lawyers told them, โ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ณ๐๐ซ๐จ.โ Evan overheard this call and knew the odds were against them. Then Facebook offered them $๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง. But instead of selling, they said ๐ง๐จ. Why? Because they believed in their vision. They didnโt just see Snapchat as a short-term win, but as something much bigger in the future. At that point, they had enough financial cushion to take risks. Both founders had already sold $๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐, which gave them the freedom to think long-term. This financial freedom allowed them to take bigger risks.
