It’s only cringe until it starts working. A great example of this is Airbnb. When Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia first came up with the idea of letting people rent out air mattresses in their living rooms, many thought it was a crazy idea. Who would want to sleep in a stranger's house? But they didn't give up. They saw a need for affordable places to stay and made it happen. Now, Airbnb is worth billions. The point is, every big business idea might sound strange or “cringe” at first. What matters is solving a real problem and staying determined to make it work. If you believe in your idea, don’t let others’ opinions stop you. Keep working on it, and one day it might be the next big success!
