Twists and turns, failures and setbacks—these are what most first-time entrepreneurs experience. The fear of having such experiences is why most would-be entrepreneurs hesitate to take the first step.
True courage comes when you acknowledge that the most probable path for your new endeavor will be filled with these—twists and turns, failures and setbacks. Remember that all these are on the path, and aren’t necessarily the end result.
Failure becomes the end result only when you choose to quit.
If you can dance with and dodge failure and setbacks till a sufficient amount of time has passed, you’ll start seeing success as a possibility.
That is exactly where you want to be: eagerly engaging with the possibility of success.
Your new endeavor will always be filled with twists and turns, failures and setbacks. But don’t give up: stick to your path, take the twists and turns, till you eventually reach the point where you can eagerly engage with the possibility of success. That’s where you’ll find your first real milestone of success.
