You doubtless have close friends, but if you haven't spoken to them in a while, they probably won't be ready to invest their hard-earned cash in your startup or show up when you need a last-minute hand. If you want to win real support, financial or otherwise, you need to actively nurture relationships. Schedule weekly phone calls with possible investors, and take potential employees out to lunch to show your interest. Look for experienced mentors who can help you achieve your goals.
Don't focus solely on your professional relationships, either. Deepening your relationships with family and friends is key to creating the support system you'll need to survive the challenges of the startup journey., entrepreneurs are significantly more likely to experience a mental-health condition, and they're twice as likely to report depression compared to non-entrepreneurs.
Coming up with a great startup idea feels like a breakthrough, but it's only the beginning. The next step is truly vetting your idea and getting others to buy in. These supporters are your first real customers, and if they're willing to invest in your plan, you'll be off to a great start.
