Failure is not an option if you give up. You think Facebook and Groupon failed with their other projects! no they succeeded because they kept trying.

No hits the ball out of the park on their very first try. Good life coaches encourage getting your failures out of the way quickly in order to succeed sooner. The problem with most people is that they have to be ok with the journey in their minds before even taking the first step. Carrie Wilkerson says it best: "Fail fast, fail often and success cannot elude you." Success can only be achieved through failure. No hits the ball out of the park on their very first try.

I think failure is hugely underrated--in more than just the business setting. Think about our kids. We focus so much on equipping them and encouraging them to win--we often don't think about equipping them to fail. Think about that for a second. If we equip and arm our kids with the tools to learn how to deal with failure and learn to take risks, they will be more self-sufficient, stronger and more able to tackle all the challenges and hurdles life throws at us each day. Some of the most valuable lessons I've learned in life and business were certainly not the result of success. They were the result of failures. Like you said, the more you fail, the more you succeed (love that quote!). @arikhanson Love this post for so many reasons. I think failure is hugely underrated–in more than just the business setting.
