Ask questions as to why your vision is doubted. Sometimes they doubt the scale, the team, traction etc. Then gather evidence so it’s nearly impossible for anyone to doubt you for that specific point. Do this enough times, and more will believe you then not. This will lead to more investment, world class employees and revenue! Our largest shareholders initially said no before we returned to them with enough evidence to secure our first $1m!

Being questioned is a fundamental aspect of the entrepreneurial journey, it happens every day. From investors who say “no”, to users who opt out from your product or service. Ultimately, it helps to see things with a different perspective and, for us, it’s a unique opportunity to mature and shape our vision further.

My mother taught me I have two ears and one mouth and should use them in that ratio! It’s served me well when facing questions of my vision for the future of energy. My mindset is that questioning is free consulting, offering perspectives that help make my concepts stronger – just without the hourly rate. The key is to approach conversations with genuine curiosity. Some of my biggest breakthroughs came from really listening to doubters. They’re like free beta testers for your business model.

When faced with questions about my vision, I prioritized customer satisfaction as the answer. Demonstrating that Autone’s focus is firmly on enhancing the user experience has turned many skeptics into supporters. By consistently listening to feedback, responding to customer needs, and building an intuitive platform, we’ve shown that our commitment to client happiness drives our innovation. This user-first approach has solidified trust and helped us bring skeptics along on our journey.
