“People would say ‘I really like your magazine, but I want to wait just one more issue’ and it’s like, ‘fuck you, give us your money!’ But that didn’t happen. And there’s this other thing in Berlin where they think ‘what’s this Auslander doing trying to tell me about my city?’ But, it’s a wonderful creative city that I’m passionate about and I want to give people a platform, so put your Haterade away and give me a break”
»In the business world, failure has become an expected rite of passage. You hear all the time how nine out of ten new businesses fail. You hear that your business’s chances are slim to none. You hear that failure builds character. People advise, “Fail early and fail often.”
With so much failure in the air, you can’t help but breathe it in. Don’t inhale. Don’t get fooled by the stats. Other people’s failures are just that: other people’s failures.«
— Jason Fried / David Heinemeier Hansson - Rework, page 16
I will (officially) open up the Ask feature for one week from now on. Whatever you’d like to know/say - shoot it. If questions are risen, I will answer soon (or at latest next weekend).
