According to The Law of Market Failure Law of Market Failure, most new products will fail even when they’re competently executed. Depending on the source, 70–90% of startups go bankrupt.

But it’s even worse than that.

Many startups that don’t fail survive only because founders work insane hours and earn less than they could in a regular job.

Does it really have to be that way?

Let’s be clear: success is never guaranteed. But you can significantly reduce your risks by making wise, lean choices, applying proven practices, and testing your assumptions early.

As Alberto Savoia, the author of The Right It, says:

“A good failure is when the value of the lesson is greater than the cost of the lesson.”

So, if you have to fail, let’s fail the right way!
