Everywhere I look, read and interact recently people are talking about failure, in the context of the start-up / business world and it’s seriously refreshing. I will never forget going into a meeting with 50 young entrepreneurs and, according to them, not one of them was having a problem with their business! Astonishing and completely untrue. Thank f*uck times are changing!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing failure, or percieved failure, and as we talk about such mistakes we are essentially sharing our experiences which others will learn from and hopefully excel in because of.
Not only is the excellent Mixergy doing an interview series on entreprenuers who have failed. But there is an awesome article in the financial times about failure too, which is worth a read.
If you have any thoughts on failure, if you have experiences or points for people (including myself) to learn from then please do share them!
