I hope you have enjoyed the very last month of SCALE UP this year.
This very last monthโs scaling lesson is all about ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐. I think as most of us reflect back this year, one thing we have all learned is that life operates in cycles. From the pandemic-fueled hyper-growth phase to this entireย year of navigating uncertainties in the tech world and beyond, both companies and individuals experience these cycles every few years or decades. No one can truly escape this perpetual ebb and flow. High tides and low tides are constants. However, the wise adapt and work with these rhythms of life.
James Raybouldย emphasized the importance of forever networking in life. Whether we find ourselves riding high or facing challenges, networking should never be neglected. Because timeโs most crucial element is ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ. The depth and duration of our relationships, especially human connections, compound over time. Even when youโre comfortable or feel invincible, remember to extend a helping hand to others. So when your tide recedes, youโll need that same support.
So how do you work with the tide? You need to get creative and you need to execute. Likeย Mohan Belaniย mentioned, it is not the end of the world, good funding environment or bad funding environment. If you are building a good product, you learn to work, pivot and tweak your approaches along the way. This is part of the journey and probably sth that will make you come out stronger. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐๐ญ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐. Donโt just anticipate. You can do the perfect forecast. But if you donโt execute nothing will materialize and it will become too late after your prediction or forecast is complete.
I hope you have enjoyed this monthโs and this entire yearโs scale up episodes. Happy to announce that the SCALE UP podcast has also landed in the most popular Chinese podcast channelย Xiaohongshuย andย ๅณๅปApp.
