How Top Entrepreneurs Stay Calm and Negotiate Better Deals w/ Antoine Rousseaux | Elite Performance Podcast #88

"When results dip, you think: let me occupy my brain with something new that I don't have rejection on yet. Nothing has failed there. It feels safer. It is the recipe for disaster."

Most entrepreneurs are basing their confidence on the wrong thing, and it's costing them deals, momentum, and peace of mind. Crypto and media entrepreneur Antoine Rousseaux breaks down why skill confidence beats revenue confidence when it comes to deal making.

In this episode, Antoine reveals how he navigated extreme crypto market volatility, built a media-first business from scratch, and discovered how peace of mind can be a revenue multiplier, not a luxury.

Topics covered:

• Why shiny object syndrome is a self-trust problem, not a focus problem
• How patience, built on skill confidence, wins negotiations before they start
• The "offseason" business strategy: how to build your war chest during slow or volatile markets
• Why your entrepreneur mindset is worth more than your current revenue stream
