The worst mistake you can make as an entrepreneur is refusing to admit when something has failed. Bad ideas do not become good ideas just because you keep throwing more money at them. Embrace the loss, learn from it, and move on. 80% of startups fail. You cannot cry... show more

This sound advice should be applied to public policy and programs as well.
Losses are the best teacher. Cut bait fast or it'll drown you.
Failure is Success if we Learn from it!
I take it back when k said you should run for Amorim’s administer your just like Carney you would continue to see Canada out to China while you enjoying Muskoka
Agreed. But, it’s also really hard to murder your baby
I think you are absolutely right you have to know when to cut your losses. But being able to tell when you should hang on to your idea even when the odds are stacked against you takes real skill. Takes discernment.
I know this is a difficult request but would you consider forgiving bitboy. You don't have to do it publicly. Maybe find a way to help him in a recovery process. He has children. A consideration
Knowing when to quit is a skill too. Persistence is admirable… until you’re just repeatedly setting money on fire to protect your ego 😂🔥
how many of those 80% had a guy like this telling them to keep going for one more quarter
Noted. Adding it to the Sol-3 file.
Is this an AI of Kevin? It doesn’t look like live Kevin.
The issue @kevinolearytv is you have to know when to say when. You are not risk taker. You take safe bets. How long did it take Uber to become profitable, 13 years! I only tried Netflix because Best Buy gave me a free trial. Put my corner Blockbuster out of business!
Yep!
The failure is refusing to look.I did not have money to throw at a bad idea. I had tests. If the lattice drifted, spoofed authority, or leaked state, it was wrong — and I would have had to kill it. It held. That is the only reason I am still on it. Knowing when something has failed is the same skill as knowing when it has not. Most people skip both.
Words of wisdom. Take my money!
Time for a new idea 💡🤔
sunk cost with extra steps, most founders learn it the expensive way
Take the L and stay away from Utah. We have enough grifters here already.
Failure teaches you. You learn from failure. Failure teaches you how to grow, and you learn how to succeed from those experiences.
Sometimes the best bet (or investment) is the one you don't make. I agree, never throw good money after bad. Old Proverb "never reinforce defeat". Now if we could just get you to pay taxes and stop getting subsidies, tax credits and bailouts. No more Accelerated depreciation.
Follow the Profit. Get rid of red line items that cost more than make.
Love this take
Amen Mr Wonderful!!
Mr. Wonderful. When are we having dinner?
Thanks for sharing this

![Mark Zuckerberg’s advice to 19 year olds that want to have an impact Even though Zuckerberg was 19 when he started Facebook, he advises not turning your idea into a company until it’s working: “I always think the most important thing entrepreneurs should do is pick something they care about and work on it, but don’t actually commit to turning it into a company until it’s working. If you look at the data of the very best companies, I think a tremendous percentage of them have been built that way and not from people who decided upfront that they wanted to start a company because you just get locked into a local maxima a lot of the time.” Sam Altman agrees. Facebook didn’t become a formal company until 6 months in when Peter Thiel invested. In fact, Mark and Dustin Moskovitz even told Peter that they were still planning on going back to school for their Fall semester. Paul Graham gives similar advice in his essay “Want to start a startup?”: “So if you want to start a startup one day, what should you do in college? There are only two things you need initially: an idea and cofounders… [and] the way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas… if you make a conscious effort to think of startup ideas, the ideas you come up with will not merely be bad, but bad and plausible-sounding, meaning you'll waste a lot of time on them before realizing they're bad. The way to come up with good startup ideas is to take a step back. Instead of making a conscious effort to think of startup ideas, turn your mind into the type that startup ideas form in without any conscious effort. In fact, so unconsciously that you don't even realize at first that they're startup ideas. This is not only possible, it's how Apple, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook all got started. None of these companies were even meant to be companies at first. They were all just side projects. The best startups almost have to start as side projects, because great ideas tend to be such outliers that your conscious mind would reject them as ideas for companies.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1731300000263463224/ext_tw_video_thumb/1731299671857876993/pu/img/F7BVkskYPp6ECVS1.jpg)
![This is one of the greatest displays of the creative process I’ve seen. It perfectly illustrates something many of my favorite artists have described. When you go to the studio, Mayer was asked, what do you do to generate ideas? “Well, I don’t always do it,” he admitted, “because it requires a stupid bravery all the time.” Mayer strums a couple chords without singing. A nice melody begins to form—“you can sit here all day [doing this] and go, ‘Okay, maybe that’s something.’” “But if you don’t go,” and then he starts improvising vocals, “Sunlights beating on the corner of the walls / and I’m a Mr. know-it-all / heaven calls / get yourself right / get yourself right,” he stops, raises his finger to his mouth, and explains, “if you’re not ouija boarding immediately, you’re wasting time.” “You just stare at the corner of the wall,” he says, before improvising some more, “Stare at the corner of the wall / try to get it going on / but I can’t sometimes / you just keep going 'til you get something / maybe I’m a little bit shy / maybe someday I’ll tell you why.” He stops singing to say, “you gotta keep forcing it, forcing it, forcing it. It doesn’t matter [what comes out of your mouth]...You gotta get fearless, fearless, fearless, fearless…It’s hard to do.” Takeaway: When talking about their creative processes, many artists describe something similar to what Mayer refers to as “ouija boarding”—spitting out words and phrases, without worrying if they’re good or even make sense). When asked where his ideas came from, Pablo Picasso said, “As soon as I start to work, [ideas] well up in my pen. To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing.” Joan Didion famously wrote, “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking.” And Judd Apatow said that his movie scripts are all a product of the Down-Up theory: “Get the ideas DOWN then fix them UP.” “Give yourself permission to suck,” Apatow says. “Anything goes. Just get something down.” Make it exist, as they say, then make it good. There’s a neural explanation for this process... I recently shared a clip of Dr. Andrew Huberman explaining what happens in our brain when we sit down to focus. Whether we’re trying to read, write, create a song, or generate ideas—when you sit down and try to focus, Huberman explains, “The brain circuits that turn on first are of the stress system...The agitation and stress that you feel at the beginning of something—when you’re trying to lean into it and you can’t focus: you feel agitated and your mind’s jumping all over the place—that is just a gate. You have to pass through that gate to get to the focus component.” He uses a great analogy: “You have to wade through some sewage before you can swim in clear water. That’s the way I always think about it.” Essentially: you become creative by creating, you get more creative the more you create. At the start of a focused creative session, bad ideas almost always come out first. You just have to wade through the sewage of bad ideas, “just keep going ‘til you get something,” as Mayer sang, ‘til you reach clear water. - - - “You gotta keep forcing it, forcing it, forcing it...You gotta get fearless, fearless, fearless, fearless.” — John Mayer Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1887557666001600522/amplify_video_thumb/1887557550876270592/img/3wupStnLB16e9elk.jpg)

“The lifestyle of an entrepreneur at its core is: I can take more pain than the other guy, and I'll prove it.” “ There's a zen that can happen when a warrior has fought for a long time. You can get used to it.” “ You almost start accepting it. Like, something bad happens and you don't even get mad.” “ There are benefits. But you need to make sure you don't get so used to it that it doesn't even bother you. You can get so zen, you're unbothered.” “ There's something special about the extra fierceness of being bothered, being upset about something that is wrong.” — travis kalanick
