My own number one failure that taught me a lot must be my debute as an entrepeneur
1990, in the middle of the dotcom frenzy, I began to start the company
and then in august, 2002 the company filed bankruptcy
as a CEO, I had invested 106 thousands euros of my own money
and obviously lost all that money in the progress
it was really great learning experiment to see a company's rise and then fall
from craddle to grave you could say, the whole cycle
and the fact that I only had to pay hundred thousands of euros for it
was pretty cheap for such an valuable education
it must correlate with something close to Harvard MBA
this kind of an learning experience where you get to see everything
the time when company goes international, when clients get abroad
international investors, the whole thing
it was an amazing roller coaster ride
very flamboyant and showy failure, because it wasn't kept quiet either
and taught in so many ways
