Do you have any regrets? Name one 🤔 Are you relieved that something happened the way it happened? Name one 😅 Your goals for this year? Name one
Regret is a weird emotion. I've made many mistakes which I'd prefer not to have made. But I don't regret them - at the time I couldn't have known better.
I suppose I regret working such long hours on my first startup. At the time, I thought that was what you are supposed to do. But it wasn't easy for my girlfriend and I should perhaps have recognised that sooner.
I'm relieved that I took a very spontaneous chance to jump into a series A startup and see how stuff works from the inside. It dispelled any illusions I had that the VC way is the only way (or even the best way).
A goal I have for this year is to become better at networking/be more social. If there's one area of being a founder I'm really not good at (and massively underestimated) it's this one.
