How do I define Failure? - Step 3

As quickly as I can pull a band aid off a wounded elbow, let me quickly say, that some level of failure is inevitable. Failure as a whole is not! Let me explain further.

We have created our idea, we have taken the necessary steps to write it down, we are moving in the right direction with whatever it is that we need to accomplish. There is one thing, that hasn't been calculated, the fact that "something" will go wrong. As much as you don't want to hear it, if you don't prepare for it, it will feel like the world has been dropped on you. Maybe, it will be small, like a misprint on a brochure, or a deal went sour, or maybe larger like trademark issues, issues with rights, partnerships going to a dismal place, costs increase unexpectedly. Some of these things happen, so be sure to calculate errors in your process, time, and expectations.

Whew! That is tough to talk about. Of course we all have dealt with some errors in business. However, it is what makes us stronger, wiser, and sharper. May, I quickly make mention. Choose your business partner very carefully, in prayerful consideration. Do not be hasty and crass in your decision. It could certainly affect you briefly.

So, use this as a calcuation tool, when implimenting your execution of your business. You are successful! You are great at what you do! So, get out there and do it! Do it well!

Success is the only option.

Thinking Big!
