It can be hard enough to start a small business.
Therefore, you do not need to have your own fears working against you,
especially not the fear of failure.
If you have the fear of failure against you when you release
your small business ideas, your path to success will be long and narrow!
So, instead of be afraid of failure, you have to realize that
everyone is going to fall short or experience failure.
That's why it's not important to ask if you have failed,
But how did you react to the failure?
When you come up short of a desired outcome, that'll be a great teacher.
Of course you can learn the most things you need to know to
activate your small business ideas, from people who have walked that road already.
But some of the knowledge you have to find when you overcome difficulties.
Mistakes will help you to discover how not to do.
Success is also a great teacher, showing you how to do.
Therefore both are important, success and failure will together show you
how broad or narrow the road to your goals is!
How do great leaders handle success?
Well, they will not let a failure get to them, and when they
succeed, they stay on the ground.
They take both on, knowing they will continue to experience
both as they move forward.
They do get excited though, by the insights and knowledge they get as a
result of both success and failure.
You can launch a great accomplishment from failure.
On the other hand, if you stop because of failure, you will experience that failure forever.
When you experience failure with your small business ideas, as you will,
place yourself outside the situation and have a close look at it, with an outsiders eyes.
It's very important that you forgive yourself and others for mistakes of the past.
That is a necessary step to take, in order for you to be able to evaluate the failure.
As you are learning to live with the outcome, ask yourself why these small business ideas failed.
Once you have forgiven yourself and others for mistakes of the past
(even if the past is just moments ago), you can look at the situation wiser and
more competent.
You will feel that the failure is just a stepping stone to your success.
