Learning From Mistakes

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

A CEO once said, I don't mind people making mistakes.

I mind people not learning from them.

It's important to learn from mistakes.

There are several ways to do this.

Learn from your own mistakes.

Writing down the mistakes and what you learned helps reinforce your knowledge.

Learn from the mistakes of others.

This is easier to do in comparison to learning from your own mistakes.

There are so many other people making mistakes; there's no shortage of lessons.

Consider mistakes as learning opportunities.

To learn from your mistakes, recognize what the mistake was and how it happened.

What can one take from the mistake to improve in the future?

Consider how to avoid the mistake.

What caused it, and how can I avoid the same mistake again?

Delve into the root cause of the mistake to find a deeper understanding.

To do this, ask "why" five times to drill down.

Once you identify the root cause, there's a place to start work.

Consider these steps in learning from mistakes.

Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Stages of Technology Adoption

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

Technology adoption goes through several stages over the life of that technology.

Here are the steps of adoption:

Unknown -- no one knows the technology.

Awareness -- some hear about it but don't know what it is.

Understanding -- those who know it understand how it works but don't know what to do with it.

Belittlement -- those who know it consider it an underperforming technology and discard it as a toy.

Usefulness -- some users find use cases for it.

Repeat usage -- more users find it helpful and use it repeatedly.

Designed in -- the tool becomes embedded into the workflow and is used constantly.

Locked in -- the tool is something the user has no choice but to use.

Regulated -- the tool becomes so prevalent that it attracts regulatory oversight.

In building your product, consider these stages for marketing the technology behind your product.
