Success can Start with Failure

Blog by Kristen

“When you see someone who’s very successful, you almost imagine that it was a foregone conclusion, that they’re a genius, that they were destined for great things,” says Seth Fiegerman a Senior Business Reporter at Mashable. But behind every success story is an embarrassing first effort, a stumble, a setback or a radical change of direction. If you don’t step out, you’ll never know if your invention will succeed. Successful inventors calculate the risk-vs-reward; if it’s a winning equation they take a chance.

The problem for inventors is not that they make mistakes. The real problem is that they don’t use those mistakes to lead them to success. Because shame is currently attached to mistakes, inventors become timid which causes them to miss their opportunity for invention success. If we turn mistakes into a learning opportunities, everything changes.

Success follows someone who works towards a goal to get things done rather than someone who waits for things to happen. Great successes are a result of tenacity and the mindset of never giving up. If you quit, you lose. Keep moving forward, big or small steps.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Thomas Edison
