Failing Fast, Failing Slow

28 Nov 2016

Last week I tweeted this after hitting send on an email to my cofounder explaining that it might be best if we call it a day.

fail fast
fail early
fail often
fail cheap
fail gently
fail hard
fail easy
fail fair
fail better
fail forward

then...

fail at failing

It has long been a mantra in the tech community apparently and for some reason it came to me mind and urged me to act. Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Events happen in the course of history and you can no longer let things linger. The more things you try the better chance something will stick.

So here I am now again waiting for inspiration. I see a vision of a certain future. But it is hazy. Here’s a Twitter poll I just ran.

OK Twitter help me with a dilemma this sounds trite but what's the best way to enact life changes and move towards your future dreams etc.?

So it looks like I will take it slow for now, keep my head down and take small steps towards that hazy future. But once it comes into vision that’s it. I’ll drop everything and run with it. This is it.
