On Failing Fast: The story of how I hit rock bottom as an entrepreneur and got up from there

“In startup culture, failure is accepted and encouraged. This is EXACTLY what we believe in at Odyssey3D. After all, how else are we going to reinvent the home purchasing experience? Fail fast. Fail smart. And fail often. That is the best way to innovate.”

I thought I’d take this opportunity to share my biggest failure. Before Odyssey3D, I was working on another business idea that fell flat on its face.

As an entrepreneur, you need to fail fast. Odyssey is a story of perseverance, of pure grit, and never giving up. After all, nothing ever worth doing is “easy”.

I am looking forward to putting together more tidbit videos to give back and help relay topics that I thought would have been useful when I was starting out. If you are interested, comment or PM me and I will answer any topic you’d like.
