You Are Not Lost, You Are Just Early
Episode
Welcome to another episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland. Today's episode, titled "You Are Not Lost, You Are Just Early," offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs and innovators who often feel uncertain about their path.
As entrepreneurs, we frequently question ourselves and our choices, especially when we haven't yet received positive feedback. This lack of immediate validation can make us feel lost. However, Jens Heitland highlights a crucial perspective shift: perhaps we are not lost but simply early in our journey.
Working in innovation often means venturing into the unknown, tackling problems without clear solutions in sight. This can be daunting, but being early has its unique advantages. It allows us to explore new territories and pave the way for future success. The key is to stick with it longer than we might initially think necessary.
Patience and perseverance are essential in this process. By pushing through hurdles and staying committed to our goals, we gradually see things fall into place. Each step forward, no matter how small, brings us closer to our objectives.
This episode encourages listeners to embrace the concept of being early. Understand that the path to success often requires enduring uncertainty and maintaining steadfast dedication. Over time, this persistence will lead to valuable learning experiences and, ultimately, long-term success.
Tune in to gain insights on how to navigate the uncertainties of entrepreneurship and innovation with confidence and resilience. Remember, you are not lost—you are just early.

Transcript:
Sometimes we question ourselves. Is it truly what we want to do? Is it truly because we don't have a positive feedback loop yet? Especially if you take myself as an entrepreneur. We are trying, we are hustling, we are looking into what are the different things that go on.
And when you work with innovation, then you're leading into the unknown. You have no idea sometimes you have a problem which you want to solve, but you have no idea what it is that solves the problem.
Being early is something fascinating because we all can learn from being early. What it requires, it requires us to stick to it for a little longer than we think we should. And when we stick to it, slowly, step by step by step, things are falling into places. If you're pushing through some hurdles, this will allow you to learn and will allow you to succeed on the long term. That just requires being a little bit more patient. Being early is cool.
