Hey Founder,
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
(Michael Dell?)
Fight to surround yourself with people who feel obligated, out of respect, to give you real feedback, real opinions.... peer review.
Those who experience Imposter Syndrome underestimate what they actually know, attributing their success instead to luck, “being in the right place at the right time”, or having the “right connections”.
Those who experience Dunning-Kruger Effect overestimate what they actually know (though they usually aren’t aware of it), inaccurately projecting their knowledge and/or success in one area to other areas.
This may explain why it is common for entrepreneurs to succeed with their first venture and fail with their second. Knowledge is not as portable as one likes to believe.
If I can be of service, reach out.
James.
