In response to the post by Damien Tackett – “I would rather be a glorious failure, than a wimpy wish I had.” I’m not sure what a glorious failure means – other than to say that Damiens definition of a glorious failure is close up shop and run off with about 10 thousand dollars of payroll, disconnect his numbers and leave all of his dedicated employees high and dry – thats not Glorious that MY FRIEND is exactly something an entrepreneur would not do. You really have no business postin on a site such as this where REAL people with dedication, ambition and drive are looking for some support, advice from you will take them down a road of immoral, unethical and illegal behavior.

I always say as long as you keep pressing forward there is no such thing as failure…only delayed gratification.

Failure should fuel your hunger, not quench it. Failure should piss you off, point blank. The rocky movies were awesome because it was all about how many punches the Rock could take and keep getting back up.

When you have given everything inside you, and you fail, it hurts. Your a person, you have to allow yourself to feel the hurt. But don’t stay there. Feel the emotion and move forward. You will become stronger.

If you have never failed, then you have never tried. I would rather be a glorious failure, than a wimpy wish I had.

my two cents,

Great post. I especially like the point about giving up early at the first sign of trouble. Entrepreneurship is about planning, executing, falling every now and then and getting back up.

Great post. I love it. To try and succeed and to try and fail both require the same effort.

[...] of blood, sweat and tears. So, it was very cool to read on Mike’s blog yesterday about the power of failure for entreprenuers. Mostly because of personal experience. I failed. [...]

Great post Mike. I will own up to my past and admit that I had given up before I even got started in business at least twice before. I eventually came to the realization that I had good ideas, just lousy execution and no patience at all. Some people get lucky and see huge profits right from the start, but for the rest of us, it may take years to achieve sustainable profitability. Not giving up is more than half the battle.
