A Startup Shit Story

I started my business because I know my shit

All my friends and family kept saying "you can do this shit'

I hired staff telling them our culture is 'we give a shit'

I felt like I really had my shit together

Then the shit hit the fan

Covid came and everybody lost their shit

I transitioned from knowing my shit to looking like shit

People who I thought were my friend turned out to be total pieces of shit

I looked in the mirror and said to myself 'this shit is getting real'

So I did what any passionate startup founder does. I made a plan on how I'm going to kick the shit out of this situation

I focussed on the pieces of shit, massive shits and total shits that have ever hurt me and channelled that energy in to sales

I would make 100 calls per day just to hear people say 'I don't have time for this shit'

I trusted my staff more to 'own their shit' and together we will get out of this situation

2 years later and I'm in a better place and I've sorted my shit out

So the moral of my story is that:

Somedays you will feel like shit

Somedays people will tell you that you are shit

But

Don't give a shit what anybody thinks because you always have been and always will be

The shit
