Why Failure Is A Positive Thing | Sales Motivation

If you are failing at something, great. You can learn more when things are going badly than when they are working. If you don’t ever fail, you won’t ever grow.

Is failure positive or negative? It depends. One person can experience a result, outcome, or consequence and give up, while another person can experience the same issue and use it to get stronger, wiser, or better in some way.

No one escapes this life without failures. I have had them. You have had them. Everyone has had them. The only way to avoid failure is to spend the rest of your life in some log cabin in the woods away from all human contact, expectations, and the need for achievement. I know of no one who has reached adulthood and has not had some form of adversity or failure in his life. Neither do you. Why then are we so afraid to fail? If I was worried or offended by those rejections from clients who weren’t interested in my products or services, I certainly would not be working or coming out with some new products or services right now.

So go out there and fail. Push. Try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. All success requires you to be tested on the anvils of time, adversity, problems, and life itself.

I know no one who has achieved great success and has not had his or her share of failures. Get in the habit of measuring your success, not by what you have achieved, but by how many times you have failed and come back again.

Turn It Around

Fail often so you can succeed sooner.
