Startup Culture

- Great businesses are all about a great idea. - Ideas are nothing; it’s all execution. <— we are here. - Execution is nothing; it’s resilience. - Resilience is nothing; it’s timing. - It’s all just luck. This pretty much sums up how I feel about startup culture. First it was all about the idea, people are obsessed with coming up with the next big thing. Then about execution, and we get bombarded with hustle culture… But then even great execution doesn’t guarantee success. That’s where resilience comes in - sticking with it, pivoting when necessary, and refusing to give up. Except resilience means nothing if you launch a great product at the wrong time. But then there’s luck. The thing no one wants to admit is that luck.. being in the right place at the right time, connected or rich parents, born in the right location or right time, meeting the right person, or stumbling into the perfect market etc… often plays the biggest role. But books don’t sell the recipe for luck. What do you think?
