“If you’re scared of failing,
you’re going to be miserable
as an entrepreneur.
Failure is practically
a rite of passage
for successful entrepreneurs.
Valuable lessons can be learned
through the experience;
you’ve probably heard that
some VCs won’t invest in an entrepreneur
who doesn’t have one failed business
under his or her belt.
If you’re anxious about
what might happen,
think about the worst-case scenario.
If your business or app falls flat on its face,
how long will it take you to recover?
How long will it take you to find a new job?
Start a new business?
In most cases,
the worst case is not as bad
as you may think.”
I’m not scared of failure
but I certainly don’t like it
and I always get a little anxious
when I’m in a position
where I could possibly fail
in a spectacular way.
This anxiety doesn’t stop me though.
And it shouldn’t stop you.
Learn how to manage
your fear of failure.
