It’s the same practice each year. We’re at a party or a gathering of friends, and the question pops up, “So! What is(are) your New Year resolution(s) this year?”.

There’s something about the beginning of a new calendar year that consciously asks us to have a “fresh start” or “set new goals” and achieve them this year. What stopped you from achieving them last year I ask?

If you so wanted to achieve these goals, or fix something that is not right at the present, why don’t you already have it?

The simple, natural, and subconscious reason is, that we don’t really “want” these things to happen for one reason or another.

I got to speak at Telenor Velocity’s “Duck” Stories (fuck up stories basically) about my “duck-ups” and lessons learnt.

I had to hold back from swearing but… here’s just 6 minutes from the 30+ minutes from the event about what I live by and suggest

We usually overlook the importance of “me” time, where you can relax and recharge your batteries and have a time-out from the daily routine.

Entrepreneurs have constant challenges and pressure and this time helps reinvigorate the passion within.

This episode of Bald and Blunt, is about just that, and a bit more!

Everyone wants to perfect their idea, product or service before launching. We’re stuck in trying to make sure all possible scenarios are covered and all “what ifs” are taken care off.

Thats why most of us don’t even make it off the starting line!

Start! The mantra is, “progress, not perfection”!

The problem is that we love the solution we’re creating more than even thinking about whether there is an actual problem we’re solving!

In this episode we talk about loving the problem more than the solution, validated learning and more!

Building a company isn’t easy, and doing it all alone is very tough and at times impossible.

In this episode of Bald and Blunt, I tackle the usual “do it all alone” mindset, along with finding the right co-founder or team mates, and share how to get the right people on board, keep them on board and how to get rid of the ones that don’t match your vision or understand your mantra

the only way I’ve survived almost 16 years of my entrepreneurial life is by staying positive and kicking out the negative aspects and people in my life!

Positivity counts!

On this episode of Bald and Blunt I try to tackle a question that I got from a viewer, “Can you have a startup while having a full-time job?”.

Also, another common question is, when to quit your job to focus on your startup completely. Both get answered!
