Failure comes daily in what I do for work. Software is bever perfect and my job is often to help find solutions to odd workflow scenarios that our customers need to improve. The hard part is if you give the customer a technically sound solution then it is viewed as too complex. Similarly if you give them too simple of a solution then it is not viewed as worth the cost. So failing is not often from your perspective but it subjective to whom is using your solution.
I enjoy findimg the sweet spot and thanks to this class have a solid picture of how to go into business for myself. It is not a crystal clear picture but I see enough to take the first big risk.
Kris,
ReplyDeleteI would say your work makes you very equipped for business to in the terms of failure. I think the more you fail and eventually succeed, the less likely you are to give up and the more likely you are to succeeding long term situations.
