The First-Time CEO’s Recession Survival Guide
- SingAlong 18y agoEveryone struggles. Keep fighting "Give him one little stroke of luck, and he would think he had conquered the world. But, equally, the slightest setback would find him in deepest despair" If you’re still playing, you can still win Nail on the head. Short and simple. This reminds me of the movie 300 in which King Leonidas fights till his end with just a small group of soldiers. I dug up a lot of articles about the war and read them after I watched the movie
- run4yourlives 18y agoYou know all 300 men were killed right? Just saying. :-)
- fallentimes 18y agoHaha true but what a way to go down. Death aside, what's the startup equivalent? There may not be one but I envision the cofounders getting ripped from their desks by the foreclosure people as they're trying to finish one last line of code...
- potatolicious 18y agoI thought the startup equivalent was to kick your creditors down a bottomless pit...
- omouse 18y agoThey were Greeks not Romans ;-) That's the problem heh.
- SingAlong 18y agoOne of them lives. He goes back to the town to spread the message and motivate the rest. (remember?) :)
- run4yourlives 18y agoI'm talking about the real battle, where they all died and both Boeotia and Attica were lost to the Persians.
- swombat 18y agoPretty empty article... all this stuff has been hashed and rehashed a hundred times... all this advice is good advice whether or not you're in a recession. The only addition is a seasoning of dubious images like the predator and roman stuff.
- fallentimes 18y ago>His industry went into recession a year ago, so he’s had a little more time than most startup CEOs to think about how to deal with the current downturn. Things are a lot worse now than they were a year ago, especially for housing related markets.
