@yapwithhala: Failing fast is not about celebrating failure. Kevin O’Leary’s rule is blunt: if a business has had 36 months and still is not growing, profitable, and able to acquire customers, stop feeding it more time and money. He argues that founders get emotionally attached to dead ideas, sometimes risking family money and keeping employees tied to a company with no path forward. The real cost is not only cash—it is the time you lose to start a better idea. His even stricter warning: if you still have not figured out customer acquisition after 15 months, the odds are already bad. Ending the business is painful, but owning the truth can earn more respect than pretending the model works.Is 36 months a fair deadline, or should founders keep pushing longer?

If Jeff Bezos followed this logic, then we wouldn’t have Amazon, so this is stupid

36 months far too long, you will see it within 6 months which direction it’s heading and you can make a decision then!

The 36 month line really resonates. After a dozen exits, I've learned quitting isn't failure, it's redeploying your time toward the thing that actually has signal. The hard part is telling real persistence apart from just staying busy.

(before you shoot it) sometimes a simple pivot in the way you operate your business is all you need to turn the tide

So I started a business , got out of it years ago. But still holding a llc, domain and a great Google profile with traffic. Thinking it's worth 3,000 to 4,000. Thought about either selling or making it useful. Just not real passionate about it. 8,000 In debt. Sell to pay off debt and move on Start a new llc if I come up with another brilliant idea or hold it. 🤔
