Here are the 5-5-5:
5 Screw-ups
1. Misjudging ramp up of new geography
2. Engaging "Experts" doesn't help always
3. Health equity is worth more than sweat equity
4. Personal wealth –Putting all eggs in “Startup” basket
5. Tell bad news early - easier said than done
5 Learnings
1. Sales is intuitive, marketing is not
2. Platforms need an application façade
3. Money comes in different shades of green
4. Networking doesn't help beyond a point
5. Mentors, Advisors, BoD - Less vested, more value
5 Things right
1. First learn, then delegate, make “them” successful
2. Keeping cool at all times, live the present
3. Rolling up the sleeves, growth changes only the task
4. Spotting and hiring good talent –Team is all
5. My wife, son, and dog still love me
