Omar Zenhom built Webinar Ninja after two earlier failures: a podcast and a course that flopped. He argues that those mistakes taught him what he needed to know, citing Ben Horowitz's idea that a bad product often comes before a great one.
Every successful entrepreneur has one thing in common. They've failed big time. I know because I've been there. Before. The $100 MBA show became an award winning podcast. I launched a failed podcast that totally went nowhere. Before Webinar Ninja became a multimillion dollar software, I spent months building a course that totally flopped. But those failures, believe it or not, they were the best thing that ever happened to me. Because as Ben Horowitz says in one of my favorite books, the Hard Thing About Hard Things, sometimes to create a great product, you have to create a bad one first.
