By: Tom EisenmannIf you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail.
“Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way
Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it.
So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures.
• Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly.
• False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions.
• False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand.
• Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures.
• Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both.
• Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong.
Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them.
A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Very comfortable. Good stickiness.
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
These face/body gems are decent quality. It comes with a generous amount of gems - 3 sheets of gems in various sizes. A couple of the gems arrived with defects - the gold paint had flaked off some parts to show black underneath. Most of the gems were in good condition though. These are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I forgot I had them on at one point and was reminded when I looked in the mirror. The adhesive did not irritate my skin at all and I wore them for a few hours. I was also able to reposition the gems several times without them loosing their staying power. I had to be careful when removing the gems from the plastic sheet because sometimes the adhesive dot would stay stuck to the plastic sheet and the gem would come off without any adhesive attached. I was able to put it back down and get it to re-stick to the adhesive and then carefully remove them together in order to apply it on my skin. Overall I'd say these are worth the purchase.

Bling that is shiny and some of the prettiest pinks - perfect for Valentine's Day!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
For just about 5 dollars you get 3 sheets of Pink Face Gems/Hair Jewels by VVPESCA. These gems come in the prettiest pinks and have an amazing shine to them. You get your traditional gems of different sizes, but also some that come in unique hearts and stars shapes. I tried sticking them on my face and they stuck very well! I was shocked that they did not come sliding off, even with make-up on. However, when I was ready to remove them, they did come off surprisingly easy and did not leave any sort of mark or irritation. I have not tried them in my hair just yet, but based off of the high quality, I think it would work equally as well. This set of bling comes with a tweezer tool to help remove the gems from their sheets and apply them precisely where you want them. It is more helpful than I realized, as I originally tried placing them on with my fingers and it just didn't cut it as well as the tweezers. I love this set of bling! These jewels are truly great for anytime, but they are especially cute for Valentine's day. I will be wearing some that day to add a little something special!

Cute, with effective self adhesive
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
These are super cute.
I’ll start with the packaging:
The kit comes all together in a plastic pouch. There are three sheets of gold stud stickers, and a separately packaged pair of application tweezers. The sheets are individually packaged with a thin cardboard backing to keep them from wrinkling, and they themselves are stuck onto a transparent sheet of plastic.
They are secured with tiny plastic double sided stickers on the back, similar to double sided tape. Note: sometimes the stud pulls right off the sticker, but you can grab that bad boy gently with the tweezers, peel it off, and stick it right back on without losing any adhesive property.
I decided to just experiment with them to see how they work. I was able to move the studs from one part of my face to another, testing out what different piercings might look like, and on the third location change I just left them there and they stayed perfectly fine without falling off. So don’t let the occasional sticker pulling away from the stud concern you; the self adhesive is actually pretty legit!
I know I look like I haven’t slept in three years, but including a picture after I had already moved them around a few times so you can see how they managed to keep their stickiness.
I plan to do an elaborate makeup look and utilize them for it tomorrow so I might come back and add cooler pictures of that as well!
