Startups Are NOT Glamorous – Here’s What No One Tells You! ❌Myth 1: You need a unique idea to succeed. ✅ Truth: Execution matters more than the idea. Facebook wasn’t the first social network, and Google wasn’t the first search engine. They just executed better. ❌Myth 2: You need funding to start. ✅Truth: Many successful startups began bootstrapped (e.g., Mailchimp, Basecamp). Funding comes when you prove traction. ❌Myth 3: You’ll become successful overnight. ✅Truth: Most startups take 5-7 years to see real success. Airbnb almost shut down multiple times before scaling. What’s the biggest startup myth you believed before? Comment below 👇🏻
