5 Lessons on Failure:
1. Regard Opportunities Like Buses – There’s Always Another One Coming
2. Learn By Doing and Falling Over In the early days,
“If you fall flat on your face, at least you are moving forward!” says Branson.
3. Use Past Failures to Unlock Future Successes
“Failure is simply indispensable to the entrepreneurial experience
4. Think of Failure as a Hurdle, Not a Dead End
“Every success story is a tale of constant adaptation, revision, and change,”
5. Don’t Focus on the Past, Plan for the Future
Failure isn’t just painful when it happens. If we’re not careful, we end up dwelling on past mistakes and clouding the present with should-have-dones. But instead of using them as fodder for self-criticism, we could instead take what we’ve learned from failure and apply it to our current challenges.
