We all know that challenging situations will make us stronger. But, many people are not ready to take the tough challenges and call it quits. Entrepreneurs know that developing a success story is not enough; they should respond to each situation quickly in a smart way and lead with resilience.

Many agree that having the right mindset is essential for being resilient. Here are the steps to assist you in excelling in the role of a resilient startup leader. 

  • Funding as a continual process:

Closing funding is not that easy as going from a cold-call to raise funds in just a few months. Congrats if you are done, But it is very crucial to develop a long-term strategy and start motivating your investors from starting. 

If they are impressed with your idea from the very first day, they will get to know better about your team and start looking into your product and the way you do. Most of the startups that closed during the lockdown are building those relationships sometimes. 

  • Plan to have adequate cash reserves:

Many startups have failed to implement a plan for keeping and securing the cash reserves necessary to run their business quickly, a challenging crisis. But, we all learned a good lesson from this. How much cash a startup business kept aside is the common question arising for those working on that plan. 

Some experts suggest to have three to five months of cash reserves for covering expenses is enough, whereas some persons suggest long periods. Also, keep in mind that building large reserves negatively affects your business growth. 

Founders make sure to maintain a good relationship with the banks and understand all the alternative banking options like crowdfunding and crowdlending. 

  • Building strong relations is a continual process:

The business sector has watched more agreement terminations that no one could imagine over the last half-year. At the start, all those partnerships seemed to come to an end, but it takes resilience to understand the significance of being in touch even at hard times and offer services that you can’t get compensated. 

Don’t stop investing in your old relationships. Go through all your old lists and offer your assistance, then think about what you can do. Many people will come back to work with you again. 

  • Make a rapid decision and seize unexpected opportunities: 

Even this crisis comes with new challenges, it is also a source of new opportunities. People who grasp these opportunities quickly will come up with success. Even if the chances of surviving and accelerated will be down, there will be a different story where your success gets from the company cultures and readiness to progress in twisting. 

We all learned the lesson from this pandemic crisis and should prepare for a similar crisis in the future. 

  • Be visible and intelligent:

Covid has taken many on a roller coaster ride that no one is prepared for, and thus you felt your dreams went away and you were at the beginning. It is common for founders to find out the outlook of working on visibility and storytelling. 

Generally, stories grasp the user’s attention and emotions, and it is the time to suffer for those who need something. All you need is to create a unique about your future visions, share the real story, and show that you are doing your best for your customer needs. 

  • Empathy and solidarity for long success:

Economic slumps make it hard for businesses to show empathy and solidarity. In these situations, the founders occupy themselves with the issues and fears of losing control. 

To respond to the challenges with compassionate leadership leaving aside the hardships is what differentiates resilient leaders. It is a known fact that leaders who show empathy and solidarity to the employees and clients get long term success. 

  • Accept the challenges:

The view that we have on things holds the key to success. The long paths you take are also the ones with the most hurdles and challenges. To accept the challenges and is the most rewarding path.
