Although the thought of money is exciting, I believe a startup is probably the least lucrative way of achieving this goal. There ought to be lots of better avenues to make money such as a job, freelancing, side hustle and even investments. These still give you better chance at making money than a startup where the risk of failure is immense.
If we keep getting afraid of failure, we will never progress in life. Ultimately, this leads to a self-defeating cycle. Our success lies beyond the comfort zone. We ought to brave our challenges and dream big. This discussion talks about fear of failure, perseverance and the impact of consistency in your sincerity for work.
One of the most popular approaches is – Fail fast, fail cheap! In other words, focus on minimal waste approaches to try and deliver the best outcome for you
The entrepreneurial world can get slightly cruel at times. I can recall a fair few situations where things have seemed bleak and success has been hard to come by. Even in cases where I thought that the chances of failure are less, I have been proved wrong.
I guess such is life – we only have outcomes, our efforts and in hindsight a story of why things did not work the way we wanted.
If we are looking at a life with zero chance of failure, the utopia is probably much further from the truth than we are prepared to accept. And nothing ever comes from denial! – We can deny all we want, for all our life, but the results are the results – nothing beats the truth!
Most times, we curse our failures as the worst thing that could have happened. If we look back at all the worst things that have happened in our lives, I’m sure they’ve all led you to where you are today. Some of these failures have been so powerful that they’ve gone on to define the wonderful life that we lead today.
