Someone recently asked me when I became more confident about my abilities as an entrepreneur. I thought it was a funny question, ____ I’ not very confident at all, and constantly filled with _____ about every decision I make.

It doesn’t exactly hold me back in my work; it’s just that I am very _______ of what I do, and I’m always _____ on the way I work, think and talk. I have also learned over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the _______ decision. Preferably your decisions are the right ones, but inaction or indecisiveness is more _____ than making the wrong decisions every now and then.

There is one thing I have learned over the years that I wish I had learned earlier in my career. And that is the ____ that I am not stupid.

It sounds logical, but I often sat in on meetings and heard people explain things and then ____ to myself, “ I don’t understand that. Maybe I’m stupid?” or I would hear about a startup and I wouldn’t ______ their business model and think I’m stupid. Or I would hear an entrepreneur speak and think, “ That all like ______ bullshit, but I must be stupid, because other people seem to love it.”

A couple of years ago, I came to the ______ that I was not stupid at all. When people in meetings say things I don’t’ understand I _______ up and tell them so. Usually, I hear a sigh of ______ in the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about.

When I don’t understand a business model it usually means there is not one, or it ______. Turns out I’m not stupid and ______ I don’t understand it, most people won’t understand it at all. ______ doubting my own abilities I’ve learned to ______ my “bullshit radar” a bit more and not understanding something is a clear sign that something is _______.

My advice to young entrepreneurs is this: you are not stupid! If something does not make _____, if it sounds stupid, if you don’t understand it, something is wrong! Trust your gut( 本能的) ______.  Feel free not to know and be honest when you don’t’ understand something!
