Have you ever concealed the truth of hardship by supporting your friend's entrepreneurial idea?

Sometimes people come to me, sharing their startup ideas and being excited to start working on them. And I always try to encourage them to work on their start up ideas. I never dismiss their ideas even though I know most of the time their journey would be extremely hard to make a successful startup from their idea. What do you do if a friend approaches you with an idea? Do you share with them the hardships or do you encourage them to try for themselves?

Supporting a friend's entrepreneurial idea, even during times of hardship, can provide them with the encouragement and motivation they need to overcome challenges and achieve success.

Well George, would love your honest most candid feedback here. Trust me we can take it. We just launched The Marketplace for Everyday Professionals to supplement their Salary today for sign-ups. Check it out at TheCareering.com My Co-Founder and I are looking for feedback from other Founders and builders as we are first-time Founders. Would love to hear your thoughts on everything from design, flow, idea, our solution, problem, and Marketing.

@divine_rivers1 The website looks good, the intro video is short and clear, I was able to understand the value proposition fast. The problem I see is that it is a double ended marketplace where you need to have the mentors and then get the students. What I can see other people who provide mentoring services do, is listing their mentors upfront so that the students can observe the high-value mentor people that they can have a session with. Of course those services I have looked at were for mentoring while you have a specific niche for students and career advice which is great, because as you probably know it is good to start with a small targeted ideal profile. Good luck!
