2.\u00c2\u00a0The Single Biggest Reason Why\u00c2\u00a0Startups\u00c2\u00a0Succeed<\/strong> (by Bill Ross)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Business failure is\u00c2\u00a0one of the most common\u00c2\u00a0concern\u00c2\u00a0among entrepreneurs, and not without reason.\u00c2\u00a0A recent study showed that only four out every 10 UK businesses survive for 5 years, and the figure goes as high as 70 per cent after 10 years (2). Business failure can be attributed to many factors, but according to serial entrepreneur Bill Gross, timing is the most important element influencing the success of\u00c2\u00a0startups. In 2015, Gross delivered a TED Talk that\u00c2\u00a0described his own research and experience in the topic,\u00c2\u00a0where\u00c2\u00a0he examined key factors like idea\u00c2\u00a0strength,\u00c2\u00a0team,\u00c2\u00a0business model,\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0funding.\u00c2\u00a0However, in 42 per cent of cases he researched, it was timing that accounted for the difference between success and failure.\u00c2\u00a0In this talk he describes\u00c2\u00a0examples like Uber, Airbnb, and some of his own business ventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In this TED Talk, British author and public speaker Nigel Marsh clarifies some common misunderstandings about the work-life balance concept and calls for his audience to take individual responsibility when it comes to achieving their goals in this respect. Lessons learnt from this talk will surely be useful for entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
