Recently I read Please Stop Being a Sheep by Kevin L. Carroll and it made me think deeply about entrepreneurship.
The main message is simple but powerful:
👉 Stop following the crowd blindly.
As entrepreneurs, it’s very easy to become “sheep” without realizing it.
We follow trends. We copy business models. We chase whatever is popular. We panic when others panic.
But the book reminds us that real growth starts when we think independently.
💡 How This Applies to Entrepreneurship
1️⃣ Don’t build a business just because it’s trending. 2️⃣ Don’t quit just because others say it’s risky. 3️⃣ Don’t copy strategies without understanding them.
In the Hive ecosystem, for example, it’s easy to:
Follow hype.
Panic during price drops.
Copy content styles just for votes.
But long-term success belongs to those who:
Think clearly.
Take responsibility.
Stay consistent.
⚠️ Important Distinction
The book doesn’t say “be rebellious for no reason.”
It says: Be conscious. Be responsible. Be the one who decides.
🔥 My Personal Reflection
As a beginner entrepreneur (and Hive user), I realized that: Sometimes fear makes us follow the crowd. But growth happens when we take ownership of our path.
Not stubbornness. Not blind optimism. But aware decision-making.
