How To Deal With Failure When Building An Online Business

Being a Web entrepreneur, I deal with a lot of failure and success, personally with my businesses and projects, and for my clients too. Over time I’ve aggregated a bunch of content on failure that I’d thought I’d pull together and share for you all in place. So here you go!

No failure! You WILL succeed!

Video Presentation: I’m a HUGE Failure – I do a live presentation where I talk about we all have to learn how to fail… so we can succeed.

Here’s the video of that presentation on failure. Another version here from a different event.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

    At Web2.0 conference a couple weeks ago, Jeremiah Owyang said about companies doing social media programs, "If you aren't failing sometimes, you aren't doing it right."

    People don't care if a company makes a mistake or errs or fails in some way. They care about how a company handles it. And if you build in contingencies for possible failures than it's unlikely that the failure will put you out of business.

    It's common to see failures before success. I think learning from why we failed in those times will spur people to improve, make changes and then finally succeed.
