Many say optimism can kill your business; always being optimistic in everything can make you relax and can create an attitude wherein you rely on the circumstances for it being positive always and you getting a positive response always. This is what can kill the growth of business. The name of the entrepreneur and his company is kept incognito here. However the person concerned feels free to say about his experience and what kind of mistakes he has done and things that people can learn and hence avoid the same. Anyways before starting the story let us all have a look at the traits of people who are optimistic and also the pessimistic ones.

“In the new economy where the fight for market share and revenue is fiercer than ever, young entrepreneurs cannot afford to be overly optimistic about any of their goals, tactics, or initiatives” was the thought quoted to all.
The business started in the year 2003 with all its activities widespread; with an optimistic opinion towards all. The scenario in the company after the meetings was as if they have conquered everything the executives were very optimistic about all the events and ventures/activities they had with others. The marketing programs were planned in such a way that they were projected to succeed in any condition. They were no flaws in the plan. Thus every step of planning included positive mood and no check whether it will work or no; being lenient. The financial forecasts were also good enough and dependable, and had certainty of execution. Above from all these, the reality of this were that all thoughts were just artistry. However all these scenarios weren’t true at all. Hence the entire enterprise and its activities were unrealistic and hence the venture failed. This was the worst example of being optimistic always. The marketing efforts of the firm did not show any results; the plans that were achievable during the forecast became a myth at the execution and finally at the time of results. The company folded in a from being the best in the beginning to what it was at the winding up. Hence the entrepreneurs who have an optimistic attitude should also have a pessimist viewpoint and rationality.
