"Successful entrepreneurs intuitively know they will win. Losing is simply not an acceptable outcome."
False, false, false!
edit: Might be a fun and useful attitude to have until you fail (if you do), at which point you're just crushed ("OMG I knew I couldn't possibly fail but I did anyway! It's unacceptable!!!")
- noonespecial 18y agoThe non-entrepreneurs see that failure as a final outcome. The entrepreneurs see it as one more iteration on the path to success. Losing is simply not an acceptable outcome. So you keep trying until you win.
- swombat 18y agoExactly. Each start-up failure is a monumental learning opportunity. So long as it doesn't kill you, it will make you (a lot) stronger. And if the chances of success are 50%, then surely that means that within 2-3 start-ups you should be 90% likely of succeeding... so start-up failure is not actually a failure, it's just getting the fails out of the way so you can get to the wins.
- Hexstream 18y agoAhhh, that kind of losing.
