I saw this sentence today and it really resonated with me. How many times have we failed before succeeding? How many times have we tried something repeatedly, and thought to ourselves - “will this ever happen?”
Both from a personal and professional perspective, everyone loses, fails, suffers setbacks - and those who eventually succeed are yesterdays “losers” who didn’t give up.
In the startup ecosystem, founders know this well. You can have numerous startups that fail, you can be “failing” for years before a business takes off. If we remind ourselves that all the success stories are accompanied by long winding roads of failure, maybe we will be less afraid to try, and more dedicated to the process.
They say overnight success comes after years of hard work. In journalism, you feel you are only as good as your last story/interview, and that too quickly becomes old news. So I say, let’s start embracing failure a little more. Let’s celebrate the trying, the effort, the sweat.
Happy Thursday…

3wI love this story! A CEOs job is at the end of the day is fuguring out whatever it takes to make the darn thing work! And most of the time it is unblocking the entire team to do what they are good at!
