“Failure Breeds Success – If You Learn From Each Failure”
| |
| Many readers of this article may ask how failure breeds success? Others will ask, “Doesn’t failure breed more failure, a sense of loss, or a loser mentality?” And I welcome the inquiry and the chance to respond because I believe there is more to learn in our failures than in our successes. In my opinion, there is a lesson to learn in each failure we experience.

Important "Lessons Learned” For Leaders, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
| |
| One strategic action that I encourage all my clients to take is to look at any undesired or unplanned outcome of their efforts with a keen eye and a mindset toward identifying the “lessons learned” from the experience. The strongest and most effective leaders have the ability to commit to identifying and acting upon those “lessons learned.” And I believe leaders take a totally different view of failures that are experienced in their businesses and in their personal lives. The following is a quote from Denis Watley that I believe provides a strong confirmation of my belief about failure. “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” |

| What’s the worst word in Business?
FAILURE!
No one likes failure or those who have failed. Business is supposed to be about success, making profits, achieving objectives, going places and hopefully having fun!
But being in business also means taking risks and making judgements that can and sometimes do go wrong. And hitting that brick wall of failure, sometimes when you least expect it; can be very painful both financially and personally.

Turning Failure into Success
| |
| An important characteristic all small business owners should possess is tolerance for failure. Failure is negative only when you take it for what it is, a failure. But if you learn from one failed project or venture in order to create a new and improved project the next time around, failure can be the best thing that ever happens to you. While it might sound crazy, operating a small business successfully is a learning process and part of that process is failing from time to time. |
