Expectation is about action, while anticipation is about results. Increasing our expectations for something fuels our motivation to act, but at the same time, lowering our anticipations helps reduce the sense of disappointment.
Investing can be seen as having a higher chance of success compared to starting a business, because you're putting your money into companies with stronger competitive advantages. However, whether you're investing or starting a business, you need to accept that you might lose that money the moment you put it in. Put in 100% effort, but don’t get too caught up in fantasies. The outcome will be a natural result of your hard work.
I think raising expectations won't be too much of a problem if all your actions are based on knowledge or the right reasons, and the other I think is more appropriate is increasing self-acceptance, that's more appropriate than lowering anticipation. In the end, the main context of this discussion is about self-acceptance from whatever process we are going through to achieve something we hope for, whether it's in the field of investment or physical business. Basically, self-acceptance is indeed a skill that must be possessed by someone, especially when they are involved in anything that has a risk side, because besides being able to minimize disappointment, this skill will also not make someone lose their common sense so that they can still be in a rational mindset to make the next decision.
