Are you a successful failure?

The successful entrepreneur has averaged 4 business failures in his
lifetime. According to leadership expert John Maxwell, "Failure is the price
you pay for success." The key is to fail well…meaning you learn from your
mistakes.

So what say you? Do you learn from your mistakes? How do you handle failure?

And if I don't learn from the mistake the first time, I'll definitely learn from it the second time I make it.

There have been a few times that it took me several trips around the same problem before I learned, but for the most part, I'm the same. The main thing is to not let the setback get you down, rather, to try and figure out another way, or to realize that the road you're going down is the wrong one and then correct course.

Absolutely. I try to figure out what went wrong, what didn't work. And I'm the same. I don't always figure it out, and have to make the mistake again from a different angle before I get it.

Maybe there are a few things where we're just a tad bit hard headed. I at least know that's the case with me.

I also find it eassier to learn from others mistakes rather than making the same ones.

reply
Jim in SC to munda 2011/06/09 22:11:24

That's less painful. Plus, I like making new ones. It keeps things interesting.

Thanks for your answer.

I try to, but it sometimes takes me a few times before the lesson sinks in.

I have been described as hard headed on more than one occasion.
