Short excerpt from a Jason M. Lemkin YouTube talk advising founders to adopt an abundance mentality: business is not governed by karma, setbacks (theft, lies, failure) don't preclude future success, and resilient founders should seek new opportunities rather than dwelling on negativity. He encourages investing in relationships and staying connected to supportive networks (e.g., board members offering opportunities).

If people treat you badly, if they stole your stock, if they lied, there's no karma. They will probably go on to be successful. There is no karma. But it is. There are only, there's only so much talent in this world. There's only so many ideas. And if you, if you're good, you will get another chance. You'll always get another chance. So just go find your other chance. Yeah, an abundance mentality. It's true. How you doing on time? If for some reason, listen, even for you, if for some reason owner doesn't work out and it better, I want you to stay forever. Between me and the other board members, we could give you 50 opportunities in a week. Right? So invest in that. Right? Don't, don't, don't go own this angry, angry Debbie Downer angry pit of LinkedIn. It gets you nowhere.
