"Who needs four full ownership experiences to realise that? I realised it from the literature when I was 17." Well the author needed that before he went on to sell his company for XX million. A lot of people make mistakes on the r

Does it help to look at the extreme examples? 1. You take the money and startup fails, investors lose 100k, you lose time. You prob won't realize your failing for longer because you have 100k and so lose more time. 2. You are wildly su

Post a portfolio of your work. Maybe someone here would hire you? CVs are still important for some jobs, but probably not the kind of jobs you want to have... Typically when someone is hiring they have 100's of applicants to weed through an
