A lot of founders blame everybody else but themselves.The only thing that we have control over is ourselves.Many of us have a lot smaller circles of influence than we have circles of concern.Our circle of influence grows as we become more mature and trustworthy.We cannot influence everything around us so we have to choose which things we're going to let in. The whole idea of radical proactivity is knowing what you can change and what you cannot and spending all your time on the things that you can influence and change.
