Fail. Deadpool. 0 visitors. Insufficient funds.
Definately the words a web entrepreneur would love NOT to hear in his career. But why failing is so bad? Ok, you probably lost some money but you have gained experience. If you can realize what lead you to deadpool, that’s a great advantage. Probably, now you know what to avoid, which of your colleagues did not try hard enough and whom to trust.
Experience is a great advantage. However, it does not come for free. There will be a moment when you will face a great dilemma. One choice drives you to deadpool and the other one drives you to success. Nobody can help you because nobody knows all the facts, all those small things that matter. And let’s be frank, would you trust someone else to take the biggest decision of YOUR startup?
There are 50% chances of taking the wrong decision, if it’s the first time you have to decide something. If you have been there before, you can value much better these small things that will point out for you the right decision.
To sum up, I strongly believe that failing is not the end of the world. In fact, it’s the begining of a new era, a wiser one. And as Randy Pausch said at his last lecture
Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
