This is one of the most brutally honest takes on success I’ve seen. People chase visibility, but they forget that more eyes means more opinions and some of those will sting.

I love the “rotting vegetables” analogy because that’s exactly how negativity hijacks our brains. It’s not just entrepreneurs either anyone putting their work into the world (writers, creators, founders) faces this paradox. Great read, Aaron.

Thank you Aaron. Though I have just started on the entrepreneurship journey and am quite excited to have taken the step, I value this insight about gearing oneself for the 'negativity' . Taking the negativity with a pinch of salt needs tremendous patience and resolve, I guess. But managing it is kind of learning for life !
