Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters

von Kara Goldin

★★★★★

As an entrepreneur, you can’t be afraid to ask for help. I’ve found that when I let people know what I’m trying to do, why I’m doing it, and very specifically what I would like from them, they usually are more than happy to share what they can. When I’m facing problems I can’t solve on my own, this approach—reaching out and asking questions, learning as much as I can, digging into the problem rather than running away from it—proved invaluable for getting Hint to where it is today.
