“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm”
Failure is part of all entrepreneurial processes. Even if you’re wildly successful right out of the gate, even if you’re Facebook, failure is still ubiquitous. Projects fail. Marketing efforts fail. Whole products and features fail and must be killed. Hiring efforts fail.
Failure is a part of all creative processes. There’s a reason we find so many paintings by masters underneath other paintings. Everybody, even the very best, fail. They produce material that just doesn’t work. New styles or mediums that just don’t come together. New ideas that don’t fit anywhere. They’re always attempting new things, and failing at them.
Failure is a part of all growth processes. If you’re not constantly experiencing failure, you’re doing something wrong.
