The startup landscape is replete with instances of how positive
thinking allowed entrepreneurs to overcome adversity, challenge and
even failure. Reframing negative thoughts (stories) can be a
powerful tool to overcome them. In her article, "Three
Negative Stories Entrepreneurs Tell Themselves (and How to Reframe
Them), Sherry Walling, PhD, provides a useful guide on how to do
just that.
We tell stories to make sense of our experiences. Presentations
lead with anecdotes, and data is accompanied by narratives about
real-world implications. We also tell stories to ourselves —
about the competence of our peers or projected project outcomes.
Since entrepreneurs are prone to big thinking, good stories become
inventions.
Bad stories can be just as big ... and destructive. In my
experience, three negative stories tend to plague entrepreneurs,
stalling productivity and collaboration.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
