@yapwithhala: If your business failed, it's 100% your fault. Own it. On YAP, I sat down with Shark Tank investor and entrepreneur Kevin O'Leary (@kevinolearytv) to talk about the one thing that kills your credibility with investors. Kevin gets pitched constantly. And when he asks, "What did you do before this?"—founders start making excuses. The business failed, but it wasn't their fault. The market shifted. The timing was off. Their co-founder bailed. Bullshit. Kevin's response? He sticks their nose in it. Like training a dog. "This is your shit. You dumped this. You failed. Now smell it." Harsh? Maybe. But here's the truth: investors don't back people who blame others. They back people who own their failures and learn from them. The founders who smell their own mess? They never make the same mistake twice. Here's the lesson: → Stop blaming the market, timing, or team → Own your failure completely → Investors respect accountability, not excuses → Smell your mess so you never repeat it Your failure isn't your story. How you own it is. Follow @yapwithhala for more clips like this! To watch the full episode, click the link in my bio 🔗
