Others need more time. It really doesn’t matter. In the end, a winner is a winner. But lets look at this thing called lightbulb“failure.”

I thought about this for a long time… and then arrived at this simple conclusion. The reason you shouldn’t be afraid to fail is that everyone fails. It’s a special club that all business owners belong to.

They say about Thomas Edison that he failed 10,000 times while trying to invent the electric light bulb. Had he stopped after the first failure, the tenth, or the 1,258th time, we’d all still be in the dark.

The only way you can fail is when you stop trying… when you give up. I don’t know any business owner who got it right the first time. They’ll try one idea. It doesn’t work. So they try a different idea.

Those so-called failures are part of a learning curve. Each failure brings you closer to success. This doesn’t just pertain to you starting a new business. It pertains to every department of your life.
