Fridays @ UTS Startups: Three Reasons Being Smart can Hurt you as a Founder

​Is being smart holding your startup back? This Friday, Xianhang Zhang joins us at UTS Startups to answer it.

​Fridays @ UTS Startups brings founders, builders and curious minds together for conversations about entrepreneurship, ideas and what it really takes to build something from the ground up.

​Founder Coach Xianhang Zhang has seen these issues derail startups over and over again. In this interview, Xianhang will go over why these blockers disproportionately affect smart founders, his experiences working with founders to overcome these issues and how you can take the same attitudes to diagnose your own emotional blocks that are stalling out progress.

​We'll dig into:

• ​Overthinking Things

• ​Perfectionism

• ​Overcomplicated Solutions
