Fantastic article! I especially love your second point regarding hunger for success. Only until you’ve confronted failure will you figure out if you’re in it for the long haul- and sometimes it’s that kind of slap in the face that an entrepreneur really needs in order to figure out if they’re truly in it to win it. Thanks for the post!

What a wonderful and inspiring post! The idea that when you fail, you’re forced to change, evaluate and reevaluate why what you tried didn’t work is invaluable. By conveying that failure isn’t necessarily a bad thing is very inspiring. Thanks!

I completely agree with all the pitch tips you have mentioned here, especially number four. Practicing your speech before hand will give you confidence, help you work out all the kinks, and help you prepare for any foul ups.

I agree as well. The trick to getting out of a failure situation is to remember that all things happen for a reason, and it’s not about going back & doing a quick fix-up job. It takes patience, reflection, and gumption in order to take the steps necessary to deal with problems so they don’t happen again.
Great reminder from Tiger Woods, btw.
Regardless of what “failures” are going on in his own life, he’s still a master of the golf game.

I totally agree. One of the things we’ve noticed is that you really get the most out of it if you sit back and examine what your fatally flawed assumptions were. Help in identifying the underlying assumptions, possibly unspoken or unrealized by you, on which you are basing your chosen course of action, is something that can totally revolutionize your decision-making process….

I reflect back on my several failures often, using them as motivation and reminders as I continue in the direction of success. In this Internet age, we definitely have to fail fast and often as we refine our approaches. Thanks for the thoughtful words, which I was lucky enough to find at the beginning of a new year!

The old maxim “Try, try, try until you succeed” really means after every failure, learn from your mistakes, take corrective action, then try again until you succeed.

This is a very well written piece. Thanks.

I cannot agree with you more. My first business venture was a failure as well. But had I not known failure, I don’t think I would know how to overcome the issues that come my way now.

Also, in business, it’s important to remember that no issues which can’t be resolved. Perhaps, sometimes we’re having a difficulty resolving the problem because we don’t stop and take some time to determine what really the problem is. If this happens, sit down and write down all the issues and the possible solutions next to it. You’ll be surprised to see that what you thought an issue isn’t one after all.

Blowing all my life savings on a hare brained scheme over 2 years ago is directly responsible for the success I am enjoying now as it woke up my ideas.

I totally agree with you that failure can be positive.

Failure enables an appreciation of success and where failure results into significant losses, it can be a strong motivator to never fail again.

Oh…I hate when they try to make it seem like people didn’t go through trials and tribulations when they first started their business.

The reason for this is because they want to make themselves seem like everything they touch turns to gold, so they deserve to be admired. The fact of the matter is, most Business ventures fail because of different factors and the best entrepreneurs learn from their mistakes.

Any business needs failure without it no one can learn and gain more knowledge. However consistency and efforts is key for any successful business.

They always say we need bad in order to appreciate and value good. This is a good example of that in action.

I couldn’t agree more that more knowledge comes from failure than success.

I’m not sure failure is necessary but I do think running on no money is necessary to develop good habits of being frugal.

Well what else to say! Learn from your mistake and take it as part of your experience. You will do better next time. Sometimes you need to fail, just to succeed.

Good luck everyone.

You’ve got some really good advice here – I know it took me several months of trying what didn’t work – eventually though I learned a lot where I knew more than anyone else & did very well because of it.
