![]() ![]() It’s all about being willing to try something, even if you expect it to fail. This is especially true for startup entrepreneurs. In fact, the more successful, the more failures that have been clocked up. You may not see all the failures your idols go through, but you can bet there are a lot of them. Unless you get moving now.ġ0) Success is Walking from Failure to FailureĪnother great quote by Winston Churchill. One day you’ll find out just how risky it is. The truth is that what you think is your comfort zone is probably the riskiest place you can be sitting. If you just can’t drag yourself off the couch, get a permit, take it outside and burn it along with your TV then do what you really want to. When you stop stepping out of your comfort zone, you stop growing, and stop doing the most amazing work you can. I recently covered this piece on Forbes on how several entrepreneurs were able to bring in billions by not quitting.Ĩ) Great Things Never Come From Comfort Zones Pivot, change tactics, get help, take a break, just don’t quit. This is why knowing your core why is so important upfront. The difference in the successful is they are the few that don’t. ![]() ![]() There will be days you are tempted to quit. It doesn’t matter how strong, tough, intelligent or positive you are. No matter what is going on out there.ħ) When You Feel Like Quitting, Remember Why You Started If you are going to get anywhere you’ve got to learn to master your time, and take control of your own schedule. There is enough junk and busy work that will pop up every single day to keep you busy and prevent you from taking action on your goals for many lifetimes. Other times you need to create it.Ħ) Either Run the Day or the Day Runs You Sometimes business and revenues will come easy. This quote by George Bernard Shaw is a critical one for every entrepreneur who will succeed through both good and bad times and bull runs and recessions. That doesn’t mean you won’t have to deal with fear or doubt. Yet, at some point you will have to take calculated risks. As a founder of a company it is wise to try and de-risk your venture by learning as much as you can and testing as much as you can, step by step. It can serve you well too, by keeping you in motion and not worrying about the past or future, of which you have no control over.Ĥ) He Who is Not Courageous Enough to Take Risks Will Accomplish Nothing in LifeĪnother great quote by Muhammad Ali. That advice seemed to work well for Muhammed Ali. He was rejected over 200 times by investors and went on to sale his company for $300 million ( listen to the full episode here).ģ) Don’t Count the Days, Make the Days Countĭon’t worry so much about how long you’ve been doing it. Josh Hix, cofounder of Plated, was a recent guest and a real example of this quote. I have the pleasure of interviewing on the DealMakers Podcast some of the most successful entrepreneurs. You might unfortunately, have a much clearer picture of the struggles, but then you get to start again with a new startup, or become an angel investor yourself. Even when you ‘make it’ and raise a lot of money or sell your company, life isn’t over. Experiencing this can give you more courage to try again. Failure won’t kill you, if you don’t let it. This quote by Winston Churchill really puts the life cycle of an entrepreneur in perspective. 2) Success is Not Final, Failure is Not Fatal: it is the Courage to Continue that Counts ![]()
