Sounds unbelievable, right? But thatโ€™s 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 โ€œfadโ€ and would soon fade away. Even their lawyers told them, โ€œ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ ๐ณ๐ž๐ซ๐จ.โ€ Evan overheard this call and knew the odds were against them. Then Facebook offered them $๐Ÿ‘ ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง. But instead of selling, they said ๐ง๐จ. Why? Because they believed in their vision. They didnโ€™t 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 $๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐š ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐, which gave them the freedom to think long-term. This financial freedom allowed them to take bigger risks. They werenโ€™t worried about moneyโ€”they were focused on their vision. Today, Snap is worth more than $25 billion. Their gamble paid off. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—˜๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ฏ๐˜†? 1. ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐š๐ง๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒโ€”it gives you the confidence to take risks without fear. 2. ๐ˆ๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ฌโ€”people will doubt you, but donโ€™t let them steer you off course. 3. ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ -๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฆโ€”quick wins are tempting, but real success takes time.
