I contracted a brand new entrepreneur
to complete a project for me.
I paid her 50% upfront.
She failed,
wasn’t able to handle
the project.
The down payment
was spent.
That didn’t surprise
or shock
or anger me.
I expected it.
Because MOST new entrepreneurs
f*ck up.
I f*cked up when I first started.
Every successful entrepreneur
I know
f*cked up at the beginning
of their careers.
New entrepreneurs f*ck up.
If you’re new,
you’ll f*ck up.
If you’re working with a new entrepreneur,
she or he will f*ck up.
Expect it.
When it happens,
ask them what they learned,
shrug
and move on.
