The real problem, in my mind, isn’t in the nature of this particular Venture-Capital operation. Because the whole raison-d’etre of Venture Capital is to make money for the “Limited Partners” who provide the capital. Since VC investments are high-risk, most are expected to fail, and the ones that succeed have to exhibit exceptional revenue growth and profitability. Which is a direct path to the problems of survival and product quality that I mentioned above.
Take out a pen and paper (or fire up your laptop) and follow these steps:
1.) Select something good in your life that falls under one of the following categories: education, health, safety/security, possessions, weekends/holidays, support from others, or personal achievement.
2.) Imagine your life without that one good thing. Picture the impact clearly. How do you feel?
3.) Write down how your life would be different. Describe your feelings.
4.) Refocus on the present moment. Re-evaluate how you feel about that good thing.
5.) Have you activated any of your character strengths?
