A Different Perspective On Failing

I fail… often.
As I mentioned yesterday,
I wrote a few stinkers in 2010
and those were the stories
I THOUGHT had worked.

Any doer has failed.
If she says she hasn’t,
she has either forgotten her failures
(good for her),
or is lying.

Jonathan Fields,
author of
Career Renegade:
How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love
says

“The reality is that a ton of businesses fail.
Every successful entrepreneur
I’ve ever met
has failed way more than
they’ve succeeded.
In fact,
it’s almost evidence of that fact
that you’re willing to continue
to try and innovate.
If you don’t try,
what inevitably happens is
you start to move sideways.”

Don’t try to fail,
that would be silly,
but don’t be afraid of failing.
