Most Startups Fail: How to Improve Your Odds

from Money is Not Evil Podcast · host MoneyMedia

In this episode of the Money is Not Evil Podcast, we explore the mindset behind entrepreneurship and the common blind spots that sink new businesses. Drawing on MIT's 15.393 course, this lecture reveals why confident founders often bet on the wrong market, how ego and fear get in the way of honest feedback, and why success has less to do with ideas and more to do with listening. Business execution is about trying an idea that doesn't work, taking the L, readjusting, and staying alive long enough to succeed. Perfect for anyone building a business or interested in the mindset of successful people.
