Nice post! Failures are part of life and business as well. The most important thing is that we know how to turn those failures into great learnings. I also believe that Spiritual Coaching helps in taking the business further.

Try, fail, adjust, try, fail, adjust, try, fail, adjust, try, fail, adjust…try and succeed!! Failure is a necessary part of the learning process. Our society today teaches that failure is bad so many have been wired to never try anything new because they might fail. Entrepreneurs look at failure as a stepping stone to success. Thomas Edison failed 1000’s of times when trying to make a lightbulb and with each failure he was one step closer to success!

Hi Susan,

Thank you for sharing your definition of failure. It seems as though your definitions of failure are inline with my own. Congrats on your networking marketing business!

Long before I considered myself an entrepreneur I was taught that the only failure was to quit trying. It wasn’t until I started my own networking marketing business that I realized that an attitude of not quitting is one of the key points that sets successful entrepreneurs apart from those who go back to being an employee. For me, failure is simply another opportunity to tweek it and get it right.

Great post. I think the definition of failure related to your attitude as was pointed out in the article. I would find it hard to think of something I truly failed at. It would have to be something that I really didn’t learn a single lesson or that I gave up on.

Its important for entrepreneurs to relax their view on failure. Everything can’t be focused on monetary value or many things you do will probably be failures. Entrepreneurs have to focus on learning and progressing with every project or venture they take on.

Here’s a short post I made about this topic
