Think Like a Start-Up:
5 Tips for Punks & Mavericks

THE FEARLESS PODCAST /// EPISODE 41

Show Notes

  • Move Fast, Break Things & Toss Out Your Old Playbook
  • In a post-COVID world, you have to THINK and ACT like a START-UP!
  • 80% of Start-Ups FAIL in the first 18 months: That's 800 out of 1,000 or 8 out of 10 or 4 out of 5!
  • If you make it past the next 18 months and don't crash + burn, your chance of becoming a sustainable long-term organization is still LESS THAN 1 in 20.
  • That's right: You have a 5% chance of survival in the New Normal!
