Lean Startup theory as a guide to life.

It occurs to me that all Steve Blank, Eric Reis and friends have to do to take on Tony Robbins and the other guru life coaches is broaden their horizons. Here's the insight they need - a human life is a startup. We stagger through its early phases in search of a minimum viable product (career, partner, family...) then we scale like crazy absorbing huge amounts of capital. Of course, some people don't run lean in these early years, get into debt and go bust. If they get back on their feet what are they? They're serial entrepreneurs. And if things aren't working out with our current life strategy, what do we do? We pivot, that's what. You may not have heard a divorce described as a pivot before, but that's what it is. And if we look after ourselves with a bit of luck we get what we all wish for - a successful exit.
