Stern Truth No. 1
Failure is the only thing guaranteed.
Michael Jordan, the epitome of success, has said “I have failed over and over again, but that’s why I succeed.” How you respond to failure determines your success. Successful entrepreneurs are paid for their high tolerance for stress and pain.
Successful people see failure different than the majority. Stay loyal to yourself through failure. Instead of taking failure personally, use it to sharpen your perspective and strengthen your commitment. Most new entrepreneurs beat themselves up but, to gain the competitive advantage, you must leverage failure for even greater success.
Failure adds to your hunger and real hunger comes from tough times. Good luck finding hunger in the kids who have had everything given to them.
