How to Avoid the Mistakes That Cause Startups to Fail

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. It has been estimated that as many as 90% of startups fail within the first five years globally. Yet, every year, both new and seasoned entrepreneurs put their heart and soul into starting a new business venture. As a serial entrepreneur and investor, I have built multiple businesses in the last few years. While some failed, a couple of them succeeded and went on to become multi-million-dollar companies with offices on a global scale. Being an entrepreneur is often seen through rose-tinted glasses, but the reality is that it requires hard work, perseverance and grit. You can expect to work a lot of hours, and work-life balance can be challenging. You are going to need to focus on designing the product, acquiring new customers, doing the marketing and taking care of finances. In fact, it can feel overwhelming just how many hats you will need to wear. What's more — there is no guarantee of success...

Startup Leaders Who Adopt This Mindset Are More Likely to Succeed

Image
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Startups know that the biggest conquest is getting their brand out there. While it sounds like an insurmountable challenge, taking one step at a time results in a riptide that could lead to growth acceleration and brand awareness optimization. Think of it as swimming through still waters — a stagnant area that seems empty of opportunity. But if you start dipping your toes in it, a ripple effect takes place, creating motion in the entire space. Once you swim faster, you start disrupting the stillness of the water, creating waves that would go on to the opposite shore. And before you know it, you've already established your presence in a once-inert territory. One item leads to another. Startup leaders who think this way have a bigger chance of winning their game. It's not about knowing what the end tunnel looks like; rather, it's the journey of getting there and the series of chain reaction...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

6 of the Best Drinking Games to Play During Super Bowl LVII

Image
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T. https://www.tausiinsider.com/6-of-...
