My best friend and I started many crazy businesses when we were teenagers.
However, when ordering a lot of Italian ice cream, make sure you have a place to store it so it won’t melt before you sell it.
And holding a Teen Dance, make sure not to run out of Drinks and Food.
(That’s almost half your profits!)
And so on.
Many years later I meet him and we go for a drink.
I ask him how he’s doing and he says after that string of constant failures he ‘got the message’ and works in a manufacturing plant and hopes to make supervisor some day.
When he asks me what I’m doing, I say I learned so very much by all those ‘failures’ that I now have a very successful business and go from country to country to keep it all interrelated.
It’s time to re-interpret your past ‘Failures’
