Listen "Failure at a Startup"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textCoping with failure is hard however coping with the failure of a business is even more challenging. Your life from money to time to ego all get slowly drained over time with a failing business however the final bankruptcy is the hardest part. It is the final nail in the coffin meaning there is no hope left.There is a lot of self reflection and doubt in failing. What if I would have done things differently? What if I would have had more help? What if I would have fixed a very specific problem? It is important to learn from the failure however there are many things that you will never know.Lessons I learned from this failure is how to manage employees, when to cut your losses, how to run a successful marketing campaign, how to program, the basics of analytics, the real world isn't fair, why managers want you to go above and beyond without direction, and a very long list of other lessons. While it is hard to let go and cost my family a lot of their time and money, we all learned more than we ever expected!Video version:https://youtu.be/pllfCErqwqAConnect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitri-biancohttps://twitter.com/DimitriBiancoQuant t-shirts, mugs, and hoodies:https://www.teespring.com/stores/fancy-quant☕ Show Your Support and Buy Me a Coffee ☕https://ko-fi.com/fancyquantSupport the show
