I blow out the business because I have overreacted

It all started really simple – the few of us gathered, shared the ideas and we’ve found the right one in a no time. And we all started to build it, to develop it, until our friends, families, and colleagues started to admire us. But, all of that time we were waiting for a something greater to come up, to push us forward and to help us make that one crucial step in order to take it to another level, as we have reached our maximum. And it came. It really came. Somebody stood behind us, pushed us forward and…

My failure made me stronger

They say that the best stories often begin as a failure. And that, in order to learn, you need to fail multiple times before finding the right angle for your idea. I’ve started as a good kid. Went to church with my family, been a good student in elementary, then high school, and after that came college. I’ve finished it with good grades, and it was time to find a job. I thought it would be as easy as being in college, but it was a struggle. Lots and lots of interviews, most of them ended with „We’ll call you“……

The First Startup Failure Leads to Enormous Success with the Second One

A leader by nature, being locked in the office from 9am till 5pm was a real torture for me. I strived to be my own boss and I was happy when my first startup began to thrive. My little coffee shop was doing great and I was sure that it’s going to be that way for years, but after 3 months my coffee shop started to become empty and my sales had significantly declined. That tiny coffee shop doesn’t work today. I couldn’t keep up with a pile of the bills I needed to pay, and it led to enormous…

I failed my parents by doing what I love

I must admit I come from an impressive line of careers in my family. My mom is a lawyer, my dad is a doctor, and even my sister is the head of the mathematics department at a very well-known architect school. There was a lot of pressure on me growing up, especially as the youngest kid in my family. I did very well throughout high school, but never really found interest in anything. Some of my friends who were interested in our criminal justice class went on to practice that, and some others became teachers, but I just kind of…

My business collapsed and it’s all my fault

My business collapsed and it’s all my fault

I went into business for the same reasons anybody else would—to make money. I had my idea for years and all my friends and family, like me, thought that it was a good idea. I still think it’s a good idea…but I quickly learned that I know absolutely nothing about self-starting, sustaining, and growing my own unique business. The first mistake I made was buying an office as soon as I got some money to start my business. That was completely unnecessary, I see now! I didn’t need to pay extra rent per month and buy furniture to start up…
