You Failed, So What! Tips To Use Failure As Fuel For Growth

Tip 1 - No great entrepreneur will succeed without the struggle of tasting defeat

Every great business had a moment of darkness when all things were seemingly about to fall down in destruction. And someone held on to hope an worked like mad. The crisis and trouble usually makes you come out of it unstoppable or stops you completely. No great entrepreneur will succeed without the struggle of tasting defeat and the sweet smell of victory. I've failed over a hundred times and I believe that is why I am successful today. I've tasted the poverty and I've tasted the wealth. And during my times of poverty I worked harder smarter faster and longer and by god almighty always stayed on my feet. Even when knocked down I rose up again as fast as I could without losing any enthusiasm. That is the power of a determined soul they are for better words or less invincible.

Tip 3 - Behind every success story is an embarrassing first effort a stumble or a setback

Behind every success story is an embarrassing first effort, a stumble, a setback or a radical change of direction. It’s these first clumsy steps on the road to fame and fortune that fascinate writer Seth Fiegerman, who edits the blog OpeningLines.org, a collection of case studies on the origins of famous careers.

Smithsonian magazine By Amy Crawford

Failure and setbacks, far from being uncommon, are in many ways essential.

Tip 5 - First step is to realize that you’re not alone: fear of failure paralyzes everyone

The very first step is to realize that you’re not alone: fear of failure paralyzes everyone who’s attempting to do something new and unpredictable. Believe it or not, that’s good news.

Since fear paralyzes almost everyone, it means that it’s also going to minimalize your competition. Even if there are people whose entrepreneurial skills are a lot better than yours, if all they do is wait at the sidelines doing nothing, while you do take action despite your fears and concerns, your chances of success increase dramatically.

As Theodor Roosevelt said:

“In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.”......

Tip 6 - A culture that makes it safe to admit and report on failure and learn from it Wins

Failure and fault are virtually inseparable in most households, organizations, and cultures. Every child learns at some point that admitting failure means taking the blame. That is why so few organizations have shifted to a culture of psychological safety in which the rewards of learning from failure can be fully realized.

This concern is based on a false dichotomy. In actuality, a culture that makes it safe to admit and report on failure can—and in some organizational contexts must—coexist with high standards for performance. To understand why, look at the exhibit “A Spectrum of Reasons for Failure,” which lists causes ranging from deliberate deviation to thoughtful experimentation.

Tip 7 - Graduate from Yale, you become president. Drop out and become a Vice President

President Bush:

Bush poked fun at his average college record while at the Ivy League school. "And to you 'C' students, you too can be president of the United States," he said to a crowd that rippled with laughter.
 
The president also got in a good-natured jab at his vice president, who attended Yale for a time. "A Yale degree is worth a lot, as I often remind Dick Cheney, who studied here but left a little early," Bush said. "So now we know, if you graduate from Yale, you become president. If you drop out, you get to be vice president."

Tip 8 - Don't be a quitter, be a failure

Maria and I came up with a saying, "We're not quitters, we're failures!" We'd rather fail a class three times and eventually pass it than quit and resign ourselves to the idea that we "just can't get it." That kind of sob-story defeatism has to be expunged from your mind.  By Nick Horton.

Tip 9 - Find the value in your failure and Act on what you’ve learned

Find the value in failure.

If you’re looking for a job and you don’t ace an interview, you could either decide you failed at that interview, or you succeeded in learning something to help you in the next—which might be an even better opportunity than the one that just past. As the Dalai Lama said, “Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”

I could give you all types of statistics for entrepreneurs and companies that eventually succeeded after abundant failures, but I’m not only talking about monetary success. I’m talking about personal success—bouncing back from a disappointment and continuing to move forward on the path that makes you happy.

I believe the greatest achievement in life is the choice to be empowered, not paralyzed, by a disappointment. There is no greater success than the ability to take responsibility for your joy.

Tip 11 - Failure Is a Practice Run At Success : Practice Often Success Will Follow

Mistakes are simply a form of practice. – Every great artist was once an amateur.  The sooner you get comfortable with practicing and making mistakes, the quicker you’ll learn the skills and knowledge necessary to master your art.  You’ll never be 100% sure it will work, but you can always be 100% sure doing nothing won’t work.  So get out there and try again.  Either you succeed or you learn a vital lesson.

Tip 12 - What I Did after My First Failure

Failure is the biggest teacher of them all.  I have learnt more from my venture that failed than four ventures, which succeeded.  It makes you humble again, it brings you down to earth.  Before my failure, I thought anything I will touch will become Gold and it did.  When I dissected my first bust, it came down to being too cocky and not preparing enough to execute it right.

Failure allowed me to get back to the basics again and put all I got in it. Off course for a little while I could not believe it but I got up fairly fast and started again. This time with everything i got again.

Tip 14 - You only fail when you try, and not trying is the biggest failure of all!

Even if you fail at something, take heart from the fact that you tried it. One of the biggest regrets in life is not trying to do something you wanted to. Also, a small failure leaves you with something much more valuable than a small success - experience.

Tip 15 - Have more fear of regret than failure, your perspective is the Key

The only thing in life you have control over is your perspective. No matter what happens, YOU control what the meaning is, and what to do with the meaning you give to the circumstance.

Have more fear of regret than failure.
Failure is only part of the journey to success. There is not one success story out there that hasn’t experienced failure. The reason you are hearing about it as a success story is because those people saw failure as a tool to get it right.
It’s not about what you want to do for a living, it’s about you who want to be. What is your purpose and legacy?  JEN GROOVER

Tip 16 - Don't Buy Branded Notion That Is Fail Fast

Tip 18 - Buy email lists usa

3 Reasons why buying email lists usa is not good idea.

And if you don't have mailing list you'll try to find for a shortcut, you search online and get several companies who will boast that they have one of the biggest mailing list already available all you have to do is pay them and they will send your promotional emails to their list.
Now I want to make clear why you should not do this mistake of purchasing that kinda service.

That's 100% true, many of these companies are bogus(not all of them are bogus). In fact they don't have any email lists they just ask for money and then generate click over your tracking code via software. And you finally end up asking yourself why not a single purchase though I got several hits.

But if cost per message is high then its not good idea to purchase such lists. Why? In marketing world when you start for a new venture it is assumed that you should not consider conversion rate more than 1%, assuming this fact we suppose you buy 1000 emails for $45 then it might be the case that hardly 500-600 will open it out of which 100-300 will read it completely 100-200 will show interest and 1% of it'll purchase.

Final word of day is it does takes time and money to build your own list but such list is more trustworthy than
any other list you'll purchase from anywhere else. So its better to spend you time and effort to build your list than finding such shortcuts.
