Early life
Thousands of founders each year start new businesses hoping to gain the apex of what they deem to be success. For some that means millions of users and thousands in MRR while for others it means raising capital from giants like Sequoia Capital, Accel and Andreessen Horowitz. Regardless of what your goal is, you learn to create a blueprint that helps guide your business to achieve your goals. I had the chance to sit down with Abdul Mukati, founder of BacklinkSEO and VerifyBee to shed light on what entrepreneurs can do to achieve their business goals in 2021 and beyond. Samual Vela: According to Failory, About 90% of startups fail. What is your take on this, and do you think this reality demoralizes startup founders? Abdul Mukati: Although statistically we startup founders seem to be going against all odds there is that tunnel vision that captures each of us. It is not just hope, it’s passion. We have this innate desire to solve problems, help fill a gap within the market while working towards our dreams. I think just this in itself is so enticing, the freedom, the hardship, the trial and tribulations of the journey that make this path so worth it. It’s not about the end really but how we get there and what we learn along the way. So in short are these stats demoralizing, absolutely not. In my opinion they make us want to work harder to see our dreams become a reality.
