I am inexperienced, and I probably wasn't ready to be the CEO for this venture.
It seems that a lot of people here took my posts to be me just blaming my partners, but that must be a light reading because I definitely talk about my own shortcomings, and I take responsibility for what ultimately happened. I've been looking in the mirror constantly for the last three months, and posting here is part of that process of reflection too.
- motoko 18y agoToo emotional, talk too much. Try addressing those, update us in a year.
- orianmarx 18y agoWill do :-)
- webwright 18y agoYou may not be ready to be a CEO-- you CERTAINLY aren't ready to be someone's co-founder and partner.
- trevelyan 18y agoYou can't make judgments without knowing the business plan and how they executed it. It's quite likely the entire venture was doomed and this guy held it together long after it would have been unsalvageable otherwise.
- ConradHex 18y agoFrom what I've observed, part of being a founder and CEO is having a huge amount of confidence in yourself. I think erring on the side of overconfidence is much better than the other direction. People who are really successful in these roles seem to be completely unafraid in business situations where a lot of fear would probably be warranted. And there are always lots of people standing by and ready to offer up plenty criticism...
