Can you give an example of something you tried and failed, and something you tried and succeeded? Do you understand and can you explain why they failed/succeeded?
This has been sitting around longer than most Ask threads, so I wanted to at least offer you the following:<p>I think this thread is not taking off because it feels like an interview question. And not the fun kind. So answering this question, to me, feels like a chore. Hence my meta response.<p>I bet you'd get a better response with a more focused question. Maybe like: have you ever had a startup that totally failed? If so, in retrospect, why did it fail?<p>Cheers.
