I believe failure can be a very good teacher, and in the act of failing, we can learn a lot of things about ourselves and about what is important. We choose our attitude, and it can be either one of letting failure consume us or one of uncovering the inherent opportunities presented in that failure, and then acting upon them. Do not fear failure. Great wisdom and understanding can be gained by it. If you study any great success, you will find one common trait—the person who succeeded did so because they out-failed everyone else around them. It doesn’t matter how many times you fail as long as you succeed just once. Sometimes we stop ourselves from taking a risk because we are afraid to fail. Failing is a key part of life that can help us on our road to success as a leader. Failures are the stepping stones to new discoveries and achievements. So, don’t be afraid to fail. Run towards your fear and take the leap. If you reach for the stars, you might at least touch the moon. If you never try, you will never know or experience the possibilities. Attempt the impossible, the unlikely, the more-than-you’re- comfortable-with. The attempt will allow you to gain the most. Don’t settle for what’s easily attainable. Don’t fear failure. In facing challenges either in business or life, ask yourself the following question, “What’s the worst that can happen?” Once you face that possibility and the consequences that go with it, some of that fear subsides because you will know you can handle it. Being in business isn’t all about wins, it’s about learning from your failures in order to move forward.JEL
