1. Ignoring Market Feedback
- You believe your idea is great no matter what
- Reality: the market decides—not you
2. Rejecting Criticism
- Every feedback feels like a personal attack
- But it’s actually a chance to improve
3. Blind Attachment to the Idea
- Even with clear signs of failure
- Because admitting you're wrong hurts your ego
4. Building for Yourself Only
- You design based on your preferences
- Not your customers’ needs
5. Ignoring Data
- You rely on feelings instead of numbers
- Ego hates data because it reveals truth
6. Fear of Pivoting
- You see change as weakness
- While it’s actually strategic intelligence
7. Linking Idea to Identity
- Idea failure = personal failure (wrong)
- Your idea is just an experiment—not who you are
💡 The real danger isn’t failure…
It’s holding onto a bad idea because of ego
