How we respond to interruptions is crucial to getting on with our jobs without losing too much time.
Some of you are entrepreneurs like me, and most of us won’t make it across the finish line. Think of that as an interruption to our dreams and aspirations — a heroic failure!
Under Cloud is an attempt to deal with a vexing problem: how do we pick things up from two hours, two days, weeks, months ago if it happened only a moment ago?
But as failures go, it’s one with the potential to make a difference, where we keep moving forward, but along a different path.
As entrepreneurs, we’ve poured everything we have into that one special project, some of us have had to face unique challenges alone. All of this persistence and commitment is demonstrative of the sort of guile and grit AI won’t be replacing any time soon.
Some of us (like me) have gone solo(preneur).
These are also the sort of qualities a potential business partner or employee would find attractive.
Entrepreneurship forges people who’re adept at adapting to sudden change.
Entrepreneurs are specialist generalists.
Failure has value, in that it’s lived experience, and the experiences of an entrepreneur take that to the next level.
We’ve taken an idea, taken a huge risk with our personal circumstances, taken a leap of faith, and then continued to explore that idea to the limit of our capabilities.
How we think about failure has the potential to create an unexpected success in the future.
I know this must sound negative, but it’s about planning the best Plan B there is, and if we don’t do, who else would?
