Let us agree to put an end, to the old startup trend.
Old startup was weak, it had a faint reek.
It smelled of false hopes, of untested dreams.
In 2017, we dream big still, but without the frill.
We dream and we test, and leave out the rest.
We give all we have to Lean, Lean Startup I mean.
No false hopes, just tested and true. Lean Startup starts with you.
It's a revolution, not just a resolution.
It's a way of life, not just a passing trife.
Your way is simple, if you choose to accept it.
Just test your idea, before you reject it.
Get started today, if you want to, you may.
Don't fear the failure spider, to fail is more righter.
It's right to fail small, so try it all.
Lean Startup is trying, with the minimum of lying.
If your a funder, I plead. Demand more than greed.
Demand proof of their traction, before you do the deed.
Make sure they are tested, and validated and nested.
Make sure their growth, value, and problem, are all three fully vested.
So, this opus to you, this silly sentence so true?
It's about you and your startup, and starting up too.
Get started with Lean, buy my book to help the team.
Make progress without funding, and deliver the dream!
