Entrepreneurial Failure and How To Get Used To It

To be a successful entrepreneur you are going to have to learn to deal with failure.

There is no way around it.
Thomas Edison tried over ten thousand different experiments before he finally demonstrated the first incandescent light bulb on October 21, 1879.

Bill Gates’ first company, Traf-O-Data, was a failure.

Michael Jordan was once quoted as saying:

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. 

I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot; And missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. 

And that is why I succeed.”
