Show Notes

  • - 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.

  • Ideas and Pitches

    • - 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

    • Wantrepreneurialism

      • - 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?

      • Failing

        • - 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

        • Food Truck App Example 

          • - 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.
