Enthusiasm is not evidence

Dear students of mine,

I think you are wonderful. I enjoy working with you – hearing about your ideas and seeing the future through your eyes. But let’s get one thing straight. I don’t know if your idea will work. I don’t know if your startup will succeed or fail. I don’t know if your business will be profitable. I have no way of knowing.

My enthusiasm is for you and your initiative. My role is to ask questions to make you think. My job is to help you to think through the challenges.

With much affection,

Brandy
