Don't let failure keep you down

Posted in Young Entrepreneurs on May 01, 2023

The road to entrepreneurial success is littered with failure. But if the thought of reaching the dizzy heights of the likes of Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Richard Branson (Virgin), Henry Ford (Ford Motor Company), Akio Morita (Sony), Peter Thiel (PayPal) and Brian Chesky, (one of the co-founders of Airbnb) is enough to spur you on, then take heart from their experiences!

All of these highly successful and wealthy businessmen stared failure in the face at some point in their journeys, but what they did that made them ultimately stand out was to get up – sometimes again and again- and to refuse to fail.

If you have a great business idea and want to leave a legacy like the many great names who have gone before, make sure to look for all the help and advice you can get. With few if any college degrees geared to lessons in entrepreneurism, you have to go and find it all out and learn for yourself elsewhere.

Look for incubation hubs, start-up advisories, financial and non-financial support programmes - there are plenty of initiatives that are there to assist up and coming entrepreneurs who will become the Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerbergs of tomorrow.

The only thing standing between you and the success of your fledgling business is not knowing how or what to do to get it off the ground. Don’t let your idea die (or be used by someone else!) before you have tried every possible route to market even if it means you fall once or twice along the way!
