Use Your Failures to Propel Success

Forget about having “no fear,” or asserting that, “failure is not an option.” Actually, it is a very real option, and often happens. It is okay to be afraid and it is okay to fail. Not everything works. Learn from failure and bounce to the next action and success. It is about resilience.

If an action does turns to out negatively, then grieve over failures if you have to, but do not get demoralized. Being able to recover quickly and move to a new place where success is again possible is what matters. I use the analogy of a baseball team. Your opponent can beat you only once per game, whether it has by 1 run or 15. However, the next day, everything’s even and you have a new chance to succeed.

Create Your Own Model of Success

When it comes to success, there is no one model or type. People want to find the easy, magical steps to success. In reality, success is not always a straight line, but a series of difficulties. There are some great success stories out there, but they rarely apply to anyone else because those individuals have unique experiences and access to certain resources that may not apply to you. If you attempt to follow those same steps, you are likely to be disappointed.

To create your own measurement systems for success and failure, you should look for other things that are important to you — what I call “money-plus goals.” What is it that makes you want to do something to make money and have fun? Are you building customer loyalty? Are you learning things that will be helpful down the road? The key is to establish these systems from the outset so that you know what to work for, and how to recognize success when it arrives.

Plan for Success

Business plans are valuable planning tools in mapping success. However, the process of creating them is even more valuable because it forces you to ask questions and search for information. You should not stop once you have the document, however, because business conditions are continually changing, and what you projected may be not be accurate in a matter of months or even weeks. Instead, you need to continue asking questions.

Get a Mentor

Lastly, remember that other people have traveled this path. Mentors can help you assess a situation and figure out the best direction to take. Whenever you find people who can help you in this way, you will have a better chance of success. Having a mentor–someone who has been there and done it successfully–is invaluable. No one can, or should, do it alone. Even elite athletes have mentors and coaches. In addition, in my opinion, every entrepreneur should become best friends with a coach or mentor.
