Drop this in a bowl and let it simmer over the weekend.
The journey of an entrepreneur is never a success every time. You’ve heard the destination is the journey before, and yes, many times, the journey is what we remember most.
For entrepreneurs, we see the destination as something that will change lives; our customers’ lives, our family’s lives, and even our lives. So failure to us is letting more than just ourselves down.
We had failed plenty before success and even failed a few times after success.
Yes, there is solace in knowing the lessons we learned during a failure will help us build success next time, but this quote hit us extra hard. It leads us to the reality that we may have inspired someone, taught someone or helped someone along our way to failure. Yes, this makes the journey to the destination that we did not reach even sweeter.
Who was inspired by your failure?
