The Fear of Taking the 1% Path Why do people fear doing what 99% of others avoid? Because when you choose a different path, failure becomes louder, and criticism sharper. Society asks, "Why didnโ€™t you follow the safe route? Why try to stand out when the perfect, proven path already exists?" But here's the truth: following the crowd may feel safe, but it rarely leads to greatness. The 1% path is hard, yes, but even in failure, it teaches you resilience, creativity, and courageโ€”qualities the 99% may never experience. So, the question isnโ€™t, โ€œWhy be different?โ€ but rather, โ€œWhy settle for average?โ€

"Would you trust a failed founder with your moneyโ€”again?" Most people shy away from failure, but not venture capitalists. Many VCs are willing to back the same founders whoโ€™ve failed before. Why? Because failure isnโ€™t the end; itโ€™s a masterclass
