Link: (How to do) Failing well
Startups talk a lot about how to succeed, but talking about failing is often toned down. It’s the reverse 80/20 problem. We spend 80% of our time talking about succeeding, while only 20% are actually succeeding. Maybe if we talked more candidly and often about failing we’d get better at succeeding?
Failure sucks. Nobody wants to fail. But in the start-up world, most people are doing just that. I’m not sure I’ve read much about “how” to fail, since failure is so depressing and negative. But I’m here to tell you that there is a good way to fail and that there are steps for positively managing the aftermath.
