Blue Screen of Death

For most of us, failure represents the stuff of nightmares. What will happen when there is no money in my bank account? If I miss my credit-card payments? How will I make payroll or even rent this month? What do I tell my employees on the first of the month? Who will cover the bills? School fees, day care, insurance premiums, milk? When will they cutoff electricity, phone, natural gas and water? How bad is that eviction notice? Starting with this list of questions Jawwad weaves a tale that takes readers from New York to California in search of the deepest fear of a new entrepreneur - What if I fail? A touching confession that alternates between the bittersweet reality of a dying venture and the promise of multi million dollar valuations, the Blue Screen of Death is a journey of self discovery that every entrepreneur can relate to. It is a book of questions and answers that will force us to re-examine our personal prejudices against failure. About the Author Jawwad Farid is a Fellow Society of Actuaries, an MBA from Columbia Business School and a FAST ICS graduate.
