JA WestenbergNobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."
maya_b 🇨🇦so bored of "success" bias.
especially when it comes to startups - it completely distorts and buries the reality that 96% of all companies fail within their first 2 years.
and then there are failure reasons that are just out of everyone's control. I was in a growth phase when every resource I needed became unobtanium - components first, then funding, then future development, and finally the company went because without development, components to build devices, no funding was coming in (to basically sit and do nothing), and then buh-bye.
everything was done right, then covid came along and said "hold my virus"
