No, it’s very true that successful business people have failures in their background. Company founders tend to be overall a very optimistic lot, perhaps too optimistic. They may not be the best ones to see the problems with their ideas. I expect I will fail in small ways, here and there, and I have to get used to that. As all the books say, failure is a chance to learn and do better. What I really don’t want is to fail in the big picture on this project, but I don’t think that will happen unless I give up. But maybe that’s me being overly optimistic again? |
