104 - The Art & Science of Failing Fast (with Tom Sylvester)

The Make it Snappy Productivity Show

Dr. “Let it Flow” Clem Harrod and I decided to do a co-interview today with our guest, serial entrepreneur, husband, father and computer scientist, Mr. Tom Sylvester. Tom’s the founder of SerialStartups.co, among several other businesses, including a real estate firm and wine/liquor store, that he and his wife Ariana own and operate out of the Rochester, New York area. Serial Startups is a community for people that want to start one or more businesses to achieve their goals and secure their desired lifestyle, a resource they wish they would have had when starting their first business, and I tell ya there’s a TON of value on this site. Tom & Ariana host an amazing podcast that goes by the same name as well. So Clem and I talk with Tom in depth about the idea of failing fast and how productive this can be for new businesses: we share stories and talk about what it’s like to do it all, the RIGHT way, with a family by your side. We present to you Clem and I’s interview with Tom Sylvester. So are you ready for some REAL accountability? Why does accountability not work in the early stages of Entrepreneurship? Because you need an employee and a boss and early stage Entrepreneurs who are solo have to be both so who holds who accountable? That is why this new program, Real Accountable, is going to be the new norm for those early-stage solopreneurs, they will take that "boss" role to our founders and hold them accountable to processes like an employee. It's a crazy concept, create a business for yourself where you are the actual boss but you need to actually be the employee and outsource for that "boss" role. Our team will hold your feet to the fire and make sure you follow through with what you say you’re going to do. Goal-setting comes with excuses, reasons and results. We focus on results.
