So the NHL season is over. Once again a team won that was close to winning before but didn’t quite make it the first time around. Anaheim disposed of Ottawa in just five games – Ottawa, while performing better than in the dissapointing past, might have needed this loss to put the players in a position to really go to the mattresses next year.
You could apply this to entrepreneurship, I have often heard that many successful entrepreneurs have had one or two ideas that failed before hitting it right. But you could also start with your everyday business life. There is the presentation you had to blow before knowing how to do it. Or the abismal sales pitches to find out, how to get potential customers to buy your product. Or even the burned turkey before the grand Thanksgiving party.
So while I would not bet on the Ottawa Senators being the next Stanley Cup champions, I would not bet against them next spring.
On a side note: For the past five days, Joost is telling me that there is a server problem and asking for my patience. But moreover, how stupid can you be and announce an NHL-partnership during the play-offs without delivering it right then? Why not announce this four weeks before the start of the new season and increase user numbers then? I found myself jumping up and down and then immediately checking Google Video… Not the reaction you want from your customers.
