Up to 90% of new businesses fail within 10 years. Screws fall out all the time; the world is an imperfect place.</p> <p>Just because it happens doesn’t mean we can’t do our best to prevent it or—at the very least—to minimize the damage when it does. As a matter of fact, embracing failure can be one of the best things you do for your project. Failure is a vital part of evolution. By learning to love failure we learn how to take the next step forward. Ignoring or punishing failure leads to stagnation and wasted potential.</p> <p><a href="http://pdx.pm.org/meetings/2015/05/14/failure.html">Full synopsis</a></p> <p>Join us afterwards at the SE Lucky Lab for drinks and more conversation.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdx.pm.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
