Built On Failure

Have you failed much lately?

Your favourite creators have. The dishonest ones will tell you they have the magic touch. The honest ones will tell you they failed at basically everything until some things finally worked.

Your favourite brands have. Some of them sweep failures under the rug. Most of them don’t even need to, as they’re easily forgotten. Getting the market’s attention is hard, so hiding things is rarely an issue.

Your favourite products the first attempts. Authors have many failed books. Entrepreneurs have many failed ventures. Directors have many failed shows. It’s part of the process, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

Unless, of course, you decide there is something wrong with it.

That decision will prevent you from succeeding.

Embrace the flop. Build on failure.

It’s where great work comes from.
