I have not failed.  I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work
~Thomas Edison

Thus spoke one of the most successful inventors and business men of all time (The next time you turn on the lights looking for your iPod, think of him).

FAILURE is a big scary word. It gives you thoughts of a crowd of people publicly laughing at you as they point their fingers. The very idea of failing is enough to keep us awake at night and kill our appetite.

And yet, no great achiever has ever succeeded without experiencing a good deal of mistakes, screw ups, fubars, whatever you want to name them.

Not a single one.

These people knew that setbacks are only an opportunity to grow and become better.

Which brings us to the presentation happening at Seeqnce in a few days, our first session of the Naked Startup Series: Cuevox.com is a revolutionary Lebanese internet startup that takes the hassle out of managing appointments.

Makram Raydan, the founder and CEO of Cuevox, will be putting himself and his business decisions on the line for the world to criticize and judge. He will detail not just his past successes, but also talk in detail about mistakes he made, why he made them and what he learned from them.

This is a shout out to any entrepreneur, geek and general startup fan to pop by Seeqnce this Wednesday September 14 at 7pm sharp, for an hour of open-hearted and frank chat with a real startup doing real business on a global scale.

Oh, and the event is free!

Places are limited though, so make sure to book your spot quickly.

Go Mackram!
