  • Freeze Tag (022)

    Leave a review for Broken Bulbs!

    Today, Royce Threadgill shares the story of one of his first entrepreneurial projects: Freeze Tag. This was his attempt to organise lab data.

  • Working in the Business (021)

    Leave a review for Broken Bulbs!

    Today, Raj Goodman Anand joins us to share his early mistake of working too much in the business, rather than on the business. What does this mean? It means taking the long view and delegating the things you can, rather than focusing on going from simple task to simple task.

About Broken Bulbs

From the publisher's feed

We all make mistakes. Can't forget that time I sat on a stack of waffles... Or what about when I failed to get the work to the client on time? It happens. Success doesn't happen without 999 broken bulbs coming before the one, that single idea that works.
