Who and Why Should You Ask for Advice After Your Startup Fails
at 5:48
Answer
Ask people who were involved in your business on sidelines about their vantage point. What do they think went wrong?
Was there any advice they gave you that you did not follow? Was there any information or feelings that weren't shared in due time, which could have helped the situation?
Be open to any honest advice. You have to want to hear their authentic thoughts, not a confirmation of the narrative that you want to believe in.
