Changing memories into a milestone
In the early days of the co -founder tarket, errors were very high and sometimes expensive. We were caught in the trap of micro management, unintentionally suppressing our team’s development and creating a culture that left very little room for innovation.
As a result, we lost the talented team members, consumers and conscience when it makes the most difference. It kept us in the process of reaction rather than permanent development.
External challenges only increased the pressure. We started the company just before 9/11, and, during the break of the.com, Google Algorithm Updates eliminated our initial websites. Initially, we struggled to stay fast and often borrowed money to survive. As a result of the 2008 financial crisis, we were already wearing so many war, it was barely registered in our young company (and co -founder).
I finally realized an important thing about failure. These are not often external forces that run it, but are missed by themselves. It was important for us to own this truth.
To channel the fear of failure in stimulus
The fear of failure is natural and universal. Running a bootstream business can increase this fear. After a safety net without safety, the stake is high, and far -reaching consequences of failure can have.
But fear is an important distinction that keeps us behind and the fear that leads us forward.
When fear is obstructed, it paralyzes us and prevents us from making bold decisions. But when we use fear as a stimulus, it intensifies our attention, fuel our resolve and gives us the option of leaning in the unknown.
It is important to understand this difference in your professional life. Instead of obstructing success, it turns fear into a powerful catalyst for development. As a 20 -year -old CEO, I now recognize the fear as an indicator of innovation and no feelings of being ashamed.
Empowering others to take ownership
When you make a business from the ground, it is natural to feel deep, personal responsibility for its success. Every decision weighs on your shoulders, and every risk feels just like you.
But you cannot measure success yourself. You need to recognize the delegation and the power of trust. As your team is growing, employees become real stakeholders, and your company becomes a collective responsibility owned by the future.
In these early days, without our team specialists, the tarket will not be today’s company. He was the people who encouraged us to adopt analytics, helped develop our software and laid the foundation for our basic values.
They were also so brave to challenge me, when they thought I was wrong and spoke to push us towards better decisions. His courage, skill and determination played an important role in our journey.

Stay fantasical from the strategy
The tarket was born in the early days of the Internet, a lot of opportunities and a rapid change time. Our inexperience can limit our ability to fully invest this moment, but it also proved to be a hidden benefit that made us success. Prepared.
Our youth made us bold and bold in decision -making. When we recognized consumer needs during the height of the.com, we accepted this uncertainty, and focused the tarket focus from the identity of the speech to SEO.
Sixteen years later, we moved to the enterprise once again. Subsequently, in 2023, to own assets correction, which includes online brand management strategies, such as protecting from generating engine improvement and reputation.
Personal development and business success are the only biggest threat. For bootstream organizations, adaptation is a competitive advantage that allows you to go out of large, slowly running companies.
By staying flexible to change consumer behavior and market trends, we have been able to create a competitive offer. Therefore, embrace experiences, learn from failures, and be quietly axes when needed.
Finally, the willingness to innovate will keep your business promoting, regardless of the challenges.
