Chasing That Quick Win - Tice's Tech Trek Podcast #13

In this episode, I talk about what I've kept myself busy with in the past 10 months. The main theme is that I have launched many startups, but usually pulled the plug too early or burnt out too early because I didn't see results fast enough. Instant gratification and high expectations killed the initial effort before it could fully bloom. I try to learn from this and realise at the end that I should probably go back to the startup that I spent the most effort on (the Chinese quotation app).
