How to be an epic failure
                       (and come out winning).




       Ben Nunney | @bennuk | bennunney.com
#1: Embrace Failure
     It makes it so much easier to deal with.
#2: Don’t Compromise
        Who you are and what you believe in.
#3: Compromise
       When you need to make a round peg fit
#4: Business & Love
          Should never mix. Seriously. Disaster.
#5: Blag, don’t lie.
                       Honesty is your friend.
#6: Just do it. Or not.
            There is no try. Except when you try.
#6: Fanboys ruin lives
          And make the industry a worse place.
#7: Weird is normal…
               … and normal is strange. Ish.
#8: Fail fast, fail often
            Not every idea is a winner. Move on.
Do Stuff. Be Awesome.
          Run with your ideas. Don’t be afraid to fail.
