GIVE ME 60 SECONDS.
AND I'LL DELETE YOUR FEAR OF FAILURE.
Ready?
Rich Dad went bankrupt before he became rich.
Walt Disney was told he lacked imagination and had no good ideas by a newspaper editor who fired him.
Steve Jobs was removed from the company he founded.
Oprah Winfrey was fired from her first television job and told she was "unfit for TV."
Henry Ford's first two automobile companies failed completely before Ford Motor Company existed.
Here is what every one of those stories has in common.
Failure was not the end.
Failure was the education.
The difference between the people who quit after failure and the people who succeed is not talent. Not luck. Not connections.
It is the belief that failure is data, not destiny.
My poor dad failed once.
He called it his story for the rest of his life.
My rich dad failed multiple times.
He called each one his tuition.
Same experience. Completely different relationship with it.
Rich Dad said:
— the only real failure is the failure to learn. Every other kind is just expensive education."
I have gone bankrupt. I have had businesses collapse. I have had products fail publicly.
Every single time, I came back with more knowledge than I started with.
The fear of failure is not fear of pain.
It is fear of what other people will think.
And here is the most important financial truth I can tell you:
The people you are afraid of judging you are too busy being afraid of their own failure to notice yours.
---
Start. Fail. Learn. Start again.
That is not a motivational poster.
That is the actual process.
Every successful entrepreneur you have ever admired has failed more times than you know because failures are quiet and successes are loud.
You are not seeing the full picture.
Start anyway.
