Rule #37 on #howtofail
Be vague when you delegate.
Don’t give clear instructions or expected outcomes. Then wonder why it’s done wrong and end up redoing it yourself.
Clear input = better output.

Stick to online networking only
Ignore local meetups, and wonder why no one trusts you enough to do business together.

Rule #35 on #howtofail
Overcomplicate your MVP
Add every feature you can think of. Ignore user feedback—your vision is flawless.
Spend months perfecting instead of launching.

Work in a niche you know nothing about
Skip research. Fake expertise. Ignore industry trends.
Pray no one notices.

Rule #33 on #howtofail
Be afraid to delegate
Believe no one can do it like you. Micromanage when you finally do.
Overcommit to everything yourself.

Rule #32 on #howtofail
Be "too busy" for opportunities
Delay, avoid, or just pretend you didn’t see it.
Why put in the effort when you can let success slip away on its own?

Rule #31 on #howtofail
Feel overwhelmed? Keep it to yourself
Struggle alone. Pretend you’re fine.
Isolation doesn’t make you stronger — it makes you stuck.

Rule #30 on #howtofail
If one project flops, start a new one
Repeat until you’re drowning in half-finished ideas.
Success isn’t about quantity.
It’s about focus.

Rule #29 on #howtofail
Take every “no” personally
Assume one rejection means your idea sucks. Lose motivation after the first dip in engagement.
Quit when it gets hard — which it always does.

Rule #28 on #howtofail
Work on multiple ideas
Try to do everything at once. Guess what? You’ll end up dropping all of them.
Focus on one thing, and you'll actually get something done.

Rule #26 on #howtofail
Start building before validating your idea
Spend months on development.
Assume everyone needs it.
Ignore feedback.
What’s built without validation doesn’t sell

Rule #25 on #howtofail
Quit your job with zero income from your business
Bet everything on an unproven idea.
Stress about rent instead of growth.
Money pressure kills creativity fast.

Rule #23 on #howtofail
Scale before you’re ready
Add users, features, and stress — all at once.
Break things that were barely working to begin with.
What’s not stable at 10 users won’t survive 1,000.

Rule #21 on #howtofail
Avoid asking specialists and mentors for feedback
Fear criticism. Fear being wrong.
Stay comfortable — and stuck.
What you hide from can’t help you grow.

Rule #20 on #howtofail
Work alone. Decide alone
Ignore feedback. Trust only yourself.
Mistakes echo louder when no one else is in the room.
What’s built in isolation usually stays there.

Hope a business model magically appears
Users love it. You love it.
Your bank account hates it.
What’s free forever usually dies fast.

Rule #18 on #howtofail
Collect endless feedback. Change nothing
Nod. Thank them. Ignore it all.
Call it “staying true to the vision.”

Pivot every two weeks
No consistency. No clarity. Just chaos rebranded.
What never settles never scales.

Overpromise. Underdeliver.
Talk big. Ship small. Hope no one notices.
What’s hyped must deliver.

Focus on aesthetics over function
Gorgeous UI. Zero utility. Users impressed... then gone.
What looks good isn’t always useful.

Confuse motion with progress
Lots of meetings. Endless planning. Nothing ships.
What stays in draft dies quietly.

Procrastination is a must
Start five tasks. Finish none. Watch a video on productivity.
Cry. Sleep.

Forget metrics, trust your gut.
No tracking. No benchmarks. No idea why things break.
What gets ignored doesn’t grow.

Ignore your competitors completely
You’re “focused on your own thing,” right?
Until their launch buries yours.
