There isn’t a startup that became successful overnight. It typically takes years of trial and error, tons of money down the drain, wrong bets and wrong hires, and the ever eluding light at the end of the tunnel.
If you are in the middle of the battle of making your startup work, which according to Steve Blank means figuring out a business model that works, then hearing from other entrepreneurs and learning about their miseries can sometimes be helpful. You are not alone, after all!
Check out for example Jason Goldberg’s rant about how he is finally going to take it seriously and really start paying attention to business 101 and turn his startup, Fab.com, around. A good read is Simon Dumenco’s criticism of Goldberg’s post in a recent AdAge article.
Enjoy!
