Entrepreneurs Can Learn From Failure
Failure happens. No one can succeed at everything. When you meet successful entrepreneurs, you are indeed meeting people who have learned to overcome failure. In fact, many renowned business people have experienced difficult times.
These people don’t let failures crush them. They don’t get beaten or lose hope. Instead, they take failure as an experience – a lesson to use to spring back.
Failure actually makes people great at what they do. If you give up, you’ll never know when success really does lie around the next corner.
Failure Success Stories
Let’s take a look at these stories that ended in massive success.
1. Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest men, failed in a venture called “Traf-O-Data.” Failure didn’t hold him from exploring new opportunities. Driven with passion, he forged a new path to success with his Microsoft empire.
“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”
2. Steve Jobs, one of the greatest innovators of all time, was once booted from his own company. As a result, he became more determined to succeed. Once back at Apple, he took the Apple brand to new and greater heights. If he had stopped, the world would be different now.
“Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.”
3. Colonel Sanders, the man who founded the global empire Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), had a thousand tastes of failure. His famous secret chicken recipe was rejected 1009 times before a restaurant finally accepted it. He started KFC when he was 65. Such an inspiring story of perseverance, dedication, hard work and determination. Now, whether you like KFC or not, his “finger lickin’ good” Kentucky Fried Chicken is still a worldwide sensation.
“One has to remember that every failure can be a stepping-stone to something better…”
These are just three stories, and there’s a lot more. So what do these people have in common? They failed before they won.
One thing that drove them all was their determination to succeed.
Use Failure to Succeed
The next time you experience failure, draw inspiration from these success stories.
Think like these people, and you can push past the inevitable bleakness of failure. Failure teaches entrepreneurs and everyone else to innovate until we’ve attained unrivalled success.
The key to turning failure into success is to accept the failure and learn from your mistakes. Revisit your passion, bounce back, and keep pursuing your goal no matter what.
Don’t let failure knock you off your entrepreneurial journey. Get up, brush off the dust, and walk with your head high.
- See failure as something else – a valuable learning opportunity, a powerful motivator. This will let you take smarter steps toward what to do next.
- Use it as a stepping stone. See what you did right and where you went wrong. Learn not to repeat the same mistakes.
- View failure as feedback. Find the lessons from the experience. Use it to see yourself on the way to success.
- Don’t hide it. Be proud that you took the risk and the challenge. Open yourself up so that others can help and learn from you as well.
It’s possible that you’ve had failures in your business – from products or services that never took off, to finding it hard to attract more customers. Still, you can continue to learn how your business will grow. Failure is an opportunity to see what you can rise from.
Look for a mentor, a business coach or a business consultant who can support your business journey and help you overcome failure. It’s one key that you can really consider right now.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over time than I will count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the previous few years I’ve settled down to 1 distinct players. Why? Because I was happy to find out how well-designed and fun to utilize the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
