391 Words | 1 Min 25 Sec

Success and failure go hand in hand. If you’re someone that’s trying to achieve something whether that be extremely ambitious or just slightly unconventional, during your journey you will come across failure, something will happen that you didn’t expect or your project will go the wrong way and it will feel like the world is crumbling around you. That fact is practically guaranteed and if it hasn’t happened yet, it’s yet to happen. There are a few important things to remember when you do fail and the most important one being that failure is not the end. There is a fine line between failure and quitting and unless you fail and chose not to continue then failure is just a sign of a pivot you have to make.

Why failure is important for growth.

Failure is a crucial component of growth, the reason being that if you don’t fail if you don’t have any sort of setbacks in your journey then you’re not trying enough things. A big part of entrepreneurship is to throw sh*t at the wall and see what sticks because that’s the only way that you can discover new ideas, new approaches and do something unique.

The most common way failure is seen is on a scale that looks like this:

Failure - Idea - Success

Where you start with the idea and can fall on either side, however, that’s the wrong way to view it. You have to see it from the perspective of:

idea > Failure > Success

Where failure is part of the process to get to success.

How to deal with your next failure.

Failing at something is just a sucker punch to the gut. Whether that failure is on a test, in a race or in your business, It’s never a nice feeling, however, you can either dwell on that bad feeling or take advantage of the clarity it offers.

Failure is a sign that something you tried didn’t work, there is no more to it. Therefore the way you should be viewing it is as a sign to make a change, do something different and make a pivot in your journey and view it almost like a scientist. “Okay that didn’t work, what has that taught us and what’s our next plan”.

This way failure can become a useful tool for guidance.

TAKEAWAYS:

Next time you encounter some sort of failure know that it’s teaching you something, you’re essentially testing what does work and failure is just your sign to do something different.
