21. #epilog
when technology precedes requirements,
the user experience suffers.
this approach also leads to solutions in
search of problems.

22. we’ve sucessfully failed
every single time until today,
but...

23. ...we’ve learned and
we’ve grown.
2015
sixtyfive employees, 7,5mio € revenue
managed and owned by the two founders
self-financed and independent

24. lesson one
just do, then fix
if u are afraid, you seek perfection
and never finish the already complex solution
starting simple is the hardest
if u are afraid, you will fail

25. lesson two
just do, then ask
if u ask customers, their problems get yours
if u ask employees, you only get, what is feasible
if u ask, to feel secure, you won’t move
if u ask for shortcuts, u will fail

26. lesson three
just do, don’t blame
if u do, things happen, mistakes, breaks, failure
a mistake is just a mistake, not mine or his
mine brings guilt, his brings anger
if you look whom to blame, you will fail

27. lesson four
just do, don’t compare
success is exactly what?
why are you doing this?
others are doing it better, faster and cheaper!
if u compare yourself, your will fail

28. #conclusion
yes, fear prevents success.
the success of fully living your life
in this very moment.
