People often say it’s important to fail in business as that is how you learn to become better. That’s true in many ways where of course ideally you would just want to succeed all the time. What I thought was interesting was a quote though that said something along the lines of how you need to learn from the mistakes of others because you don’t have time to make them all yourself.
Kind of interesting where it actually makes sense there. For example, read many books or watch as many interviews as possible from people who have made it where often stories of success and failures are shared. You can literally just absorb what others have gone through so that you don’t have to actually do it yourself to get it through to your head.
That’s always the challenging thing too where many times even though we are told over and over from another person’s experience we tend to not believe it until it actually happens to us personally. Although I find one thing that helps with that is to try and hear it from more than one person. That way you tend to take it more seriously when a bunch of people tell you the same thing.
