Maybe switch fields - that's a good way to break out of a destructive pattern.
- AznHisoka 12y agoOn the contrary, I think this just goes to show how challenging it is to build a business that is 100% defensible, and doesn't rely on another platform/company. Building an app? OK, better hope it doesn't violate Apple's TOS. Building a consumer website? OK, better hope Google's next update doesn't affect you negatively. Building a Buffer competitor? OK, better hope Twitter doesn't ban you from their API

- poker_face 12y agoI meant the second sentence too - I mean, if your startups are failing for the same reason one after another, you need to break the pattern somehow. He could get a job at Google for instance, regroup 2-3 years and then decide what to do next.
