- Host: Dan Hugo
- Summary: Failure is always an option, despite what you may have heard about Apollo 13, but it is not always something people consider as they begin a journey down the road of entrepreneurialism.
- Having ideas is critical, whether you are an entrepreneur starting a business or merely entrepreneurial tackling pain points
- Describing your idea is a first step toward making it happen
- Turning that description into a story comes next
- Telling the story in the form of a pitch in front of an audience is where we come in
- Are you entrepreneurial, or do you **want** to be?
- Critical are having an idea and a desire to pursue it
- This desire must come from within, it cannot be FOMO
- If you want it, but don´t have it, are you more or less likely to fail?
- Ideas are critical, but still is accepting that it might be a bad one
- Even a good idea can turn into a bad one, or it may come down to many other factors
- Knowing that failure is a possibility is important
- Accepting that failure is *likely* is critical
- An actual example of a real idea-first effort
- Failure was not considered until much later in the timeline
- Things like existing competitors already established, the lack of a team (solo!)
- House fire and Global Pandemic did not even enter consideration, until they did.These may come in handy, not responsible for links disappearing
