Miles and Sydney Wong discuss her journey from McGill University to becoming a financial analyst to now leading a startup accelerator in Montreal, CA. We go into why balance, your self-narrative, and routine is so vital in becoming a lean startup.\nSydney met startups at Montreal events that needed help with funding and grants; she offered to write business plans. In 2016, she launched a gamified business plan writing application.\nMost people didn't complete "Product Validation" Level 3 (out of 8 levels) during the beta. That was the biggest failure for startups, so she grouped and built out this application. She broadened the research to understand the success metrics that investors, government grantors, and banks are looking for when funding startups.\nThe VenturX metrics were reverse-engineered to provide quality startups the best chances for funding and success. The rest is history!!!\nNew Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!\nKeys to Becoming a Lean Startup Show Notes\nAttending McGill University\nHow she found her passion\nOne way ticket to San Francisco that changed Sydney's life\nUnderstanding appetite for risk\nCreating the startup hub in Montreal\nHow to work on your inner self\nThe importance of learning from failure\nThe Concept of balance\nHow you pace yourself\nHer morning routine\nWhat she removed from her life\nLightning round of questions\nSydney Wong Quotes\n"You are always a product of your environment."\n"If you want a happy life, you need to have a series of happy days."\n"Your journey as an Entrepreneur is as if writing a storybook."\nENGAGE SYDNEY WONG\nSydney Wong founded VenturX to tackle the problem that 90% of startups fail in their first year.
