😬Tonight in a closed session I'll be sharing the fckup that almost cost me everything with the latest cohort of Startmate Manager fellows. Committing to a fckup night as a speaker is an odd mix of stoke and dread. As a founder you are always pitching to customers, investors and new team members. That responsibility never ends so when someone asks you to speak at an event with smart and passionate leaders and tell them some the biggest mistakes you've ever made the intuitive safest bet is to decline. But counter-intuitively by accepting and by turning up and sharing these fails you get at least two big wins: 1. You remind yourself that those epic fails are part of how you got to here + 2. You encourage those around you to not fear failure enough to make it the reason you don't do that thing. I learnt this thanks to some OG mentors back in the early Muru-D and Fishburners days with Mick Liubinskas Ben Reid Annie Parker Alan Jones Murray Hurps and many more with my first start-up Lime Rocket. The culture of failing fast and learning faster is one of the most counter intuitive but under valued pieces of kit you can have so any chance to share that spirit with other founders is a good investment. I can't wait to hear some epic fails too from generous leaders, founders and investors like Isis Nair Natalie Robinson Hiam Sakakini 🤜🤛 #startupaus
