00:00:03,010 --> 00:00:07,999
On the first part of your question on some lessons from a failure,

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,079
it's almost always a team or running out of money.

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,229
Team issues, when the team doesn't get along or doesn't have all

4
00:00:15,328 --> 00:00:20,189
the skills or team spending too fast and doesn't conserve cash.

5
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:23,279
The first one is probably the harder one because finding

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,614
great people that have all the skills is always hard.

7
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:27,249
The second one should be easy.

8
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:31,089
But sometimes people are often so worried,

9
00:00:31,090 --> 00:00:33,799
and this was one of the excesses of the dotcom crash, about,

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,474
"If I don't spend the money now,

11
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:38,619
I'm going to lose the market share. It's about to

12
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:40,324
go away. It's going to get way more expensive."

13
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:42,279
That's always the excuse for spending faster.

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,579
I haven't seen too many cases where that works.

15
00:00:45,580 --> 00:00:49,159
It does work sometimes. I mean, there are cases where there truly is

16
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,669
a raise to a winner-take-all-like market.

17
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:55,669
But usually, the better executor with the greater persistence wins.

18
00:00:55,860 --> 00:00:56,859
So, I would say those would be the

19
00:00:56,860 --> 00:00:58,210
two biggest lessons from a failure.
