Welcome to #FAILweek

Posted by Jason Markow on Feb 1, 2010 in FAIL (here) | 0 comments

Over the next 5 days entrepreneurs and bloggers from across the web will come together for #FAILweek.  This event is designed to showcase and celebrate failure in the form of blog posts designed to inform readers:

1. What was attempted
2. How it failed
3. What was learned from it

There are three ways to follow along:

1. Head over to http://bit.ly/FAILweek and find the collection of links at the bottom of the page
2. On twitter search for the hashtag- #FAILweek
3. Too busy, or miss #FAILweek completely?  No worries, the posts will be gathered and assembled into a FREE ebook called “FAIL (here)” set to drop mid-March. (Link posting soon!)

Here at Tt(h)B we are going to dedicate every post this week to #FAILweek:

• Today: At the bottom of the post you will see several videos of successful entrepreneurs celebrating failure.
• Tuesday-Thursday: Tt(h)B will focus on the failure of (my first) web-based start up “the2200″.
• Friday: In true celebratory fashion, Tt(h)B will highlight the best #FAILweek posts from across the web.

Late to the party but still want to contribute?  No problem! Head over to http://bit.ly/FAILweek and follow the instructions.

Without further delay, here are a few videos designed to get you in the mindset that failure, when achieved correctly, is to be celebrated.

t(h)ink on. FAIL on.
