ForumsStarting a Business

How many times should a business owner fail?

Failure means you are out of business.

Making mistakes means that you have opportunities to make something right, learn something or both. Slow sales? Maybe some new energy, marketing or whatever...but failure?

GE missed its 1st qtr 2008 numbers. Is GE FAILING??????Hardly. See my point?

I see the problem as you define everything as failure that does not meet some pie in the sky expectation of super greatness. It does not happen like that. A lot of small businesses are crawling right now...but just because we/they may crawl does not mean they fail.

I hate the word failure...it seems to me that you really like the word and would rather look at things in terms of failure 1-2-3-4, and then total up the score at the end of every day and carry the balance forward.

Thank You DomainDiva for your compliment.

I think this is why so many feel they have to post in a negative sense towards my forums or topics.

I know that my potential for success is greater then my potential to not succeed, this is why I continue on.

Once again- THANK YOU!

People post negatively towards your posts because YOUR POSTS are SO NEGATIVE.
