Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a bit of my journey with entrepreneurship. At 18, I took a leap into my first business, and it didn’t go as planned. Yes, I faced failure, and it came with a financial setback, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
The lessons I learned from this failure have been invaluable. It’s easy to focus on the losses, but what’s more important is what I gained in terms of knowledge and resilience. I’m using this setback as a stepping stone for my next venture, applying the insights I’ve gained to ensure a more successful outcome.
I’m a bit of a roadblock now, as I don’t know if I should go back to college and get a bachelors degree or pursue other options(I have an associates degree). I really need to find a good mentor but I’m very introverted so that is difficult for me.
Remember, failure is not the end—it’s a part of the journey. I’m excited for the next chapter and the opportunity to turn these lessons into success.
Also, if you a someone who wants to start a business but is worried about failing, just start. You will regret not starting but you will doing nothing. Be smart about it, do your research, and don’t take an excessive about of risk to do so.
“Remember, failure is not the end—it’s a part of the journey.”
Well said… Thanks for sharing .
Just stay focus & Keep Going.
Best to you
I’m worried about failure, but you are absolutely right – failure is a learning experience. I’m looking into my very first venture, I’m a bit nervous… but as my middle school gym teacher told me, “you miss all the shots you don’t take!”
Kudos to you for not giving up! 🙌
Thanks. I wish you luck with your venture if you choose to pursue it.
There are only two kinds of failure that matter.
A failure to try. You don’t go far if you can’t leave the launchpad. You tried. This is not you.
The second kind of failure is a failure to learn. This is not you either. You learned something. It had a price tag. Most real lessons do.
So keep on grinding it out, success is just over the horizon.
Failure is hard but you get use to it overtime one thing I regret after my first failure is giving up for a year but now I own businesses in different states
