“The next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing” Nick “the Greek” Dandolos
In a startup there is always too much to do, too little resources to do it with and way too little time to get it done. The money is running out – quickly - and everyone’s nerves along with it. Then something good happens – a promising sales call, a technology break through, whatever. And then what happens; A brief sigh of momentary relief and then on to all the other pressing issues.
Now, celebrating every minute thing that ever happens is not the answer. After all, it is a startup and money is running out and there isn’t enough time to get things done so you don’t want to be running off to the pub at every turn. Or….maybe you do. I’ll need to consider this more.
But anyway, balance here is the key. Do celebrate the important happenings. It’ll refresh and refocus everyone – including you.
