Accept failure in your life, accept rejection by other people, accept the pain and over time you will master it. Sounds like a sure path to being the guy who has "1 year of experience repeated 10 times" instead of "10 years of experience." Just failing over and over again doesn't ensure that you're going to learn anything. Ideally you want to also acquire new externally sourced knowledge at the same time, and constantly integrate both that external knowledge and your empirical learnings so that you maximize your overall learning experience. Stop reading books, stop getting courses <snip> Some people have tendencies to never learn from other people, and they make the same mistakes other people have done again and again. Oxymoron much? This man was a serial entrepreneur: He also wrote a really good book. Which you apparently would prefer the OP not read?
