That’s a bit exaggerated.
I didn’t mean to rejoice for your failure. It’s just that failing is such an important tool to success.
Though I have seen successful entrepreneurs who achieved great heights while sitting on a sloth couch (and I actually prefer being successful without breaking a sweat), I can still say that failure is something that sharpens you and hones you to become bigger, greater and readier in every endeavor.
I was reading about the success principles of one of my favorite American entrepreneur Ron Ipach. He tried various jobs and businesses after graduating from high school. He even sold ads for book covers and did multilevel marketing. Ron then tried his luck with a franchise of mobile windshield repair. He took lessons from the experts and invested a lot in the best auto repair training he could find. But to no avail, all of his attempts ended in failure.
But those failures motivated him to be persistent and aim for success. He did not let his failures stop him until he became his industry’s most successful expert with over 5,000 clients all over the world. He devised fail-proof marketing strategies for auto repair owners that give him millions of dollars as passive income. He wouldn’t be able to come up with such marketing material if he didn’t experience failure first-handedly!
He said that to be successful, we must “embrace failure: nothing is a sure fire winner; you will fail! Don’t let the failures slow you down. Each failure improves your odds of having success the next time out”.
Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, the creators of the phenomenal Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, always talk about how they faced failure after another when every one of the one hundred forty-four publishers rejected their Chicken Soup manuscript. Most of us will stop on the 10th attempt, let alone the 144th! Those 144 publishers said that no one would read a compilation of “feel good” stories. But as it turned out, the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series became one of the most influential books in the world with whopping 112,000,000 books sold to date!
Imagine what could have happened if they stopped three feet away from the gold!
The following video will show you that if you know how to turn failure to success, then you must be congratulated after all for experiencing failure lately!
