Believe in yourself, because no one else will.
That may be the single most important point of all... well said, sir.
I don't think that's true at all. While I'm not going to diminish the importance of believing in oneself, one of the greatest loves you can show toward someone else is demonstrating that you believe in them, too. Everyone should surround themselves with people like that.
- eengstrom 16y agoAwesome point, Bundini. Not all entrepreneurs need to be leaders, but "The One" in every venture needs to be able to influence others to believe. Cultivating people skills, understanding basics of business communication that Dale Carnegie published nearly 80 years ago. Charisma, people skills, energy, good-vibe - call it what you will, but if you can engage people in a trusting and real dialog they WILL believe in you and follow you into fire.

Hmm... maybe one of us misunderstood the other, but I don't see what you just said as being mutually exclusive from what I said. I certainly am not advocating against showing your belief in others, nor do I want to diminish the importance of having support from others. Actually, on a second reading, I think I see the issue. He wrote "Believe in yourself, because no one else will" and I mentally paraphrased that as "Believe in yourself, even when no one else does." That, I think, gets closer to the gist of what I believe about this sort of thing.
