“I didn’t get here just by succeeding all the time and doing everything right.”
- Shinah
“Failure is necessary to success.” We’ve all heard that saying. But what does it really mean?
While business owners (and people in general) love to talk about their triumphs, hearing about “failures” is a lot less common.
But just because they’re not talked about, doesn’t mean that they haven’t happened.
Before I started my calligraphy business, I tried my hand at a few different things, including a knitting business. As you can probably guess, the knitting business didn’t exactly work out the way that I’d planned — if it had, I’d be the owner of Fuzzy Cloud Designs instead of Crooked Calligraphy.
Instead, I’m not even sure I made back the investment I’d made in my wool!
But even though that business didn’t work out, it was a valuable experience. Because I learned so much from it. Just as I learned from the mistakes and “failures” that came up while I was building up my calligraphy business.
The lessons that we learn through falling short of our goals? THAT is what makes “failure” so necessary to success.
In this episode of The Shinah Show, you’ll get to learn from mine!
