Description:

Last week I was asked about the lessons learned from growing businesses that failed. At the time it felt like a loaded question but after probing, the person asking the question was curious about why you would do it again. I’ll get to that in a separate post.

When I closed my first business I wrote a letter to those who followed the journey with 11 reflections.

Each one is born from an experience that came about through painful lesson or surprising revelation. And in a startup, it’s sometimes difficult to tell one from the other!

In any case, these reflections-turned-mantras are how I answered the question and have held true regardless of the business model and industry I’ve been involved in.
