 Entrepreneurs have an empowering perspective of failure

1. Failure isn’t forever.

There’s no way to talk yourself out of a fear of failure: You just have to keep embracing
challenging projects until you have the experience to understand that failure isn’t
forever. Failure will have consequences, but don’t let your attitude add extra ones. Get
back on your feet and try something new. Try something easier if it will get you back in
the groove.

2. This too shall pass.

Rejection or adversity that seems so important right now will be forgotten by tomorrow,
next week or next year. Your life will go on, and if you stick to your values and what you
know to be important, you’ll weather the slings and arrows of fortune and be all the
stronger for it.

3. Failure isn’t unique.

No one goes through life or work without some kind of adversity, rejection and low
confidence. Successful people learn how to deal with those inevitabilities, so why can’t
I? At least that’s what I tell myself whenever I start feeling down for whatever reason.
Then break it down and learn from it, so that it doesn’t happen again.

4. Criticism doesn’t equal judgment.

What other people think of you is none of your business. You need to take feedback
with a grain of salt. The more you can distance yourself and not judge yourself, the
better you’ll be able to focus on the actual work.

5. Not everything is about you.

People reject you for their own reasons, and those reasons often have little to do with
you. Don’t let it knock your confidence, because it’s often not a reflection of your
competence or character. Focus on doing good work and making good choices. Let
other people’s judgments fall where they may.
