If you’ve failed big and learned from it, please fill out the form below.

Hi, I’m Tristan de Montebello, Mixergy’s interview producer. I’ve helped fill up the calendar for the next 2 months. (We’ve got a line up of incredibly inspiring entrepreneurs that I’m sure you will learn a lot from.)

Now that I’m less in a hurry, I wanted to take some time to create a special interview series. I’m going to need your help, so let me explain.

Let’s learn from entrepreneurs who have failed big-time.

“All of us fail. Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.”  Seth Godin.

We all have experienced failure as entrepreneurs; a brutal yet rewarding path. When you take the time to look back and analyze what went wrong, the takeaways can be invaluable.

I’d like to put together a one week series of interviews exclusively on entrepreneurs who weren’t as lucky as those we usually see on Mixergy. Let’s find out what not to do when launching or growing our businesses.

Did you know that Mixergy actualy started out as a recovery from a failure?

Here’s Andrew admitting to failure. It’s a post that set Mixergy on interview path it’s on today.

Another good example is Luke Burgis. Andrew interviewed him in September 2009 after he had to shut down his company, FitFuel.com. The audience loved his openness and the lessons he pulled from his experience. (Just a week ago Andrew interviewed Luke again, this time about his now successful company, ActivPrayer)

Here’s how you can help me put this together:

If you have failed as an entrepreneur, or know someone who is in that situation, please fill out this contact form and I’ll get in touch with you.
