Startup 101 - what I
learned the hard way
Pieter Eerlings (@pietereer)

For who?
● Thinking about starting your own business?
● Just started?
● Running a business but working hard for
little money?
→ This presentation is for you!
3.
Goal of this presentation
● Make you earn more
● Make you work less
→ If I knew all of this before I started, I would
earn more today, and work less.
→ I learned most of it by making mistakes.
→ I'm fine with that. Bouncing your head
against the wall is the best way to learn & never
ever ever ever make the same mistake again.
