FutureM 2014 Startup Mixology: Building, Growing & Celebrating Startup Success Speaker: Frank Gruber (@FrankGruber) CEO and co-founder, TechCocktail Of all the things entrepreneurs worry about - from funding to users to employees - the one thing they don’t worry so much about is their mind, the engine that propels all their intense hustling. But no matter how many hours a day you’re driving, you’re not going to win the race if you don’t put in the right gas - or any gas at all. Frank Gruber's talk will look at the fuel for the entrepreneurial mind: celebration. Celebration is about taking a moment to acknowledge your efforts and progress, about recognizing your little wins along the way. Gruber will explain the science behind celebration, give examples of how tech companies celebrate, and show how it can be a lifesaver for you, your team, and your brand.

Celebration is a pivotal stage in the productivity process because it allows us to commemorate the activity we’ve been so focused on, which builds a positive momentum that can continue to propel us in the right direction.
