I shipped things and worked on something every day from age 22 to 35 and was not successful. Silicon Valley is filled with people and the ghosts of people just like me.
- keeptrying 16y agoHey there. I'm sorry to hear that but I think you might have a lot of insights that would help us up and coming entrepreneurs if your willing to share. Something else is your actual calling. Maybe its helping entrepreneurs? PS: I'm not trying to sound trite. I mean this sincerely.
- maxawaytoolong 16y agoI'm not sure there's as much to learn from failure as various self-help business books would suggest. When you remove the specifics all startup advice is trite at best and dangerous at worst.
- keeptrying 16y agoWell what would you say that an entrepreneur needs to keep in mind regardless of what the self-help books say?
- c2 16y agoIf you could go back and change anything the last 13 years would you? 35 is still young too, plenty of successful founders at 35, albeit less common then under 30.
- maxawaytoolong 16y agoYeah, I would have skipped the startups and taken the job at Google.
